CHICAGO -- After late rallying for a pair of comeback wins earlier in the week, the A's tried for a third on Friday night.
The third time, though, wasn't a charm as they dropped a 6-4 decision to the White Sox in the second game of a doubleheader at Guaranteed Rate Field, snapping a season-high five-game winning streak.
The loss extended the losing streak for A's starter Chris Bassitt (0-3) to nine games, a streak that dates back to August 2015. He allowed five runs (four earned) in 5 1/3 innings.
