White Sox Knock Off Oakland, 8-6
At Oakland Coliseum 1969, the Oakland Athletics and Chicago White Sox were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The Chicago White Sox locked up a win at Oakland Coliseum 1969, knocking off the Oakland Athletics, 8-6. On the mound for Chicago was right-hander Michael Costello. He played a major role in the triumph. Costello got the win, improving to 1-0. He gave up 4 hits and walked 4 over 7 innings. He allowed 1 run.

Carlos Villalobos had a big 2-run home run for the White Sox in the top of the sixth inning. With Chicago leading 4-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from 28-year old left-handed pitcher Mike Sirotka and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the White Sox on top, 6-1.

"If the personal accolades come, so be it," said Costello. "I just want to win ballgames."

With the win, Chicago elevates its record to 3-3.
