The White Sox’ four-game winning streak came to an end as they fell to the Oakland A’s, 10-3.
Defending AL Central champion Chicago had a four-game winning streak end with just the club's third loss in 12 games as it chases first-place Cleveland in the division race down the September stretch.
Machin delivered in the A's six-run sixth moments after a tying single by Tony Kemp, who homered in the sixth. Seth Brown hit an RBI double in the first against Johnny Cueto lost for the first time in six career starts against Oakland. Irvin allowed three runs -- two earned -- on four hits, struck out five and walked two over seven impressive innings.
A's outfielder Chad Pinder was ejected after the first inning when he came out to confront third base umpire Edwin Moscoso and had to be restrained by Machin. Pinder certainly was still upset about a foul ball call moments earlier down the left-field foul line when he thought he had an RBI single. The A's challenged the call and it was confirmed as foul.Cueto was tagged for seven runs, five earned, on eight hits over 4 2/3 innings.
