Kurt Suzuki had three hits, including a home
run, to lead the Oakland Athletics in a 10-2 rout of the Chicago White Sox in
the second of three games at Oakland Coliseum.
Suzuki, who signed a contract extension on Friday, scored twice and knocked in
two runs for the Athletics, who have won eight of 10 and improved to 23-10 in
day games this season. Jack Cust homered twice and walked three times, while
Daric Barton had two hits and two RBI in the victory.
Vin Mazzaro (6-2) pitched six solid innings for the win, allowing two runs,
three hits and three walks while fanning five.
Ramon Castro's two-run homer provided Chicago's lone offense, as the White
Sox lost for the fifth time in eight games. Freddy Garcia (9-4) was blasted
for five runs, six hits and three walks in just 1 1/3 frames to take the loss.
