The A’s started their six-game road trip on the right foot Tuesday night in Chicago, beating the White Sox 12-3 and taking the victory on Jackie Robinson Day. What a way to open the road trip.
A’s and White Sox trade early runs
The action got started early today at Rate Field. The A’s got out to a fast start as they were all over White Sox starter Sean Burke from the jump. Back-to-back singles from Lawrence Butler and Brent Rooker started the game and Tyler Soderstrom launched a ball over the right-center field fence for a three-run home run:
