The first-place Oakland Athletics took on the Chicago White Sox in front of a spirited crowd.

The Oakland Athletics topped the Chicago White Sox, 8-4, in American League action at Oakland Coliseum. The game was highlighted by the performance of Oakland pitcher Yusei Kikuchi. Oakland is now 61-49, while Chicago is 52-58.

Nick Fortes went 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Oakland. The 28-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the second. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a 2-run single off Robbie Ray. It was his 37th hit of the season.

Said Chicago manager Bobby G: "They did a lot of things right. We did a lot of things wrong."
