White Sox win fourth straight and ninth of last 11, eye four-game sweep in Oakland
Twenty hits. Ten runs. Another home run for Elvis Andrus.
The beat goes on for the White Sox, who won their fourth straight game and ninth in their last 11 by routing the struggling Athletics 10-2 Saturday, positioning themselves to complete a four-game sweep Sunday with manager Tony La Russa in the house.
Under bench coach and acting manager Miguel Cairo, the Sox improved to 9-3, including 5-1 on a road trip that began against the playoff-bound Mariners. Andrus homered for the second time in the series, a day after his two-run double broke a tie in the Sox’ five-run ninth inning of a 5-3 victory.
Andrus’ homer against A’s righty Adrian Martinez (4-4) was the Sox’ 21st in the last 12 games, following a dry run of 18 homers over the previous 27 games.
