Athletics in Freefall vs White Sox Surge | Oakland News

Oakland Athletics, reeling from an eight-game skid and clinging to fourth in the AL West, face a surging Chicago White Sox team that’s dominated their recent matchups — winning four of five this season. Chicago’s potent offense, led by Sam Antonacci’s .288 average and 26 RBIs, has crushed Oakland’s shaky bullpen, which ranks among the worst in the league. While Shea Langeliers continues to lift the A’s with 20 homers, injuries to key players like Zack Gelof and Brent Rooker only deepen their woes. With the White Sox also dealing with pitching injuries, this could be a chance for Oakland — but don’t count on it.
