Downbound White Sox Lose 8th Straight
The Oakland Athletics faced a tough opponent in Chicago pitcher Doc White, but did just enough to pull out the victory at U.S. Cellular Field by a final score of 5-3. White went 8 innings and allowed 1 run. The winner in relief was Darold Knowles. He is now 1-0. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. Dennis Eckersley closed the game out for Oakland, earning his 43rd save.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Jimmie Foxx came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Chicago pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm, he hit a full count knuckleball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Oakland on top, 5-3.

"We bring energy to every game," said losing manager . "But it's got to translate into wins."

The win puts Oakland at 82-62 this season.
