The A’s broke out for 10 runs on Tuesday night on the strength of five run-scoring hits.
And that was in the fourth inning alone.
A night after the A’s and White Sox played a 14-inning marathon that went more than five hours, things got out of hand in an entirely different way at U.S. Cellular Field. Oakland batted around twice and made life miserable for former teammate Jeff Samardzija in a 17-6 pounding of Chicago.
The A’s sent 15 men to the plate in their 10-run fourth. How ridiculous did it get? Josh Reddick went 2-for-2 and collected four RBI in that inning alone.
