The Oakland Athletics beat out the Chicago White Sox in a full-game slugfest. Eight homers were hit, and fortunately, the A’s were responsible for five of them.
It wasn’t always nice for the green and gold though. The game started off in the bottom of the 1st with Andrew Benintendi performing some loud lefty-on-lefty action. On the fifth pitch of the at-bat, the outfielder hit a solo homer over the right field fence off A’s starter Ken Waldichuk to give the Sox a quick 1-0 lead.
The A’s lineup punched back with some noise of its own in the top of the 4th.
