OAKLAND -- A's starting pitching took a beating Monday, but the Chicago White Sox didn't have all that much to do with it.
After Felix Doubront went on the disabled list with an elbow sprain, Sonny Gray was scratched from his opening night start thanks to food poisoning. That left it to Rich Hill to start, and he lasted 2ufeff2/3 innings in what turned out to be a 4-3 White Sox win over Oakland, which has lost on opening day 11 of the last 12 seasons.All four runs were charged to Hill, but two of them were unearned after first baseman Mark Canha's botched catch attempt failed to close out the third inning.
