The game belonged to the 11th inning. Max Muncy's sacrifice fly brought Jacob Wilson home with the winning run as Oakland edged Chicago 7-6 in extra innings at Sutter Health Park.
Nick Kurtz anchored the Athletics' comeback with a two-run homer in the seventh that tied the game 6-6. The rookie first baseman finished 2-for-3 with two RBIs and three walks, providing the offensive spark Oakland needed to erase a five-run deficit.
Chicago seized control early with a devastating second inning. Andrew Benintendi's three-run homer capped a five-run outburst that gave the White Sox a 5-0 lead. Montgomery homered to open the scoring, and McGuire's RBI single set the table for Benintendi's decisive blast. Wilson answered immediately with a solo shot for Oakland, but the damage was done.
Luis Severino struggled through 5.1 innings, allowing five runs on five hits with four walks. Jack Perkins earned the win with 2.1 scoreless innings of relief, striking out three. Lucas Sims took the loss after allowing the winning run in the 11th.
Oakland improved to 10-10, snapping a two-game losing streak. Chicago fell to 7-13 despite the early offensive explosion.
