The A's continued their first game cold streak, finishing with one hit, one walk, and one questionable reached on error while getting beat 10-0 in five innings. The game could have been much worse, as Toonces utilized the wind to keep a few White Sox HR in the park, although rookie Styx took advantage of the occasional lull in the wind to blast two HR, while going 6 for 8. Some shaky A's defense contributed as well, as a potential third out was missed in the first inning, which ended up putting the A's in a 6-0 hole before having their first at bat.
