Medina gave up a run in the first after allowing a double to Andrew Benitendi leading off the game, struck out four and worked out of bases-loaded jams in the first two innings.
Luis Medina overcame his season-long control problems and pitched five mostly strong innings to earn his first win as a starter this season, Carlos Pérez hit his sixth homer while his brother sat in the opposite dugout, and the Oakland Athletics beat the Chicago White Sox 7-4 on Friday night.
"I leaned over to and said, 'I don't know if I've seen two innings and 14 guys come to the plate and only one run given up,'" manager Mark Kotsay said. Two days after being on the wrong side of the first perfect game in the majors this season, the A's had 10 hits. That snapped an Oakland-record 19 consecutive games with nine hits or fewer.
Before the game, Chicago called up Pérez's younger brother, also named Carlos, from Triple-A Charlotte. The two have an older brother also named Carlos, all three with different middle names. The first name is also shared by their father and grandfather. Chicago, which had scored 20 runs in its previous two games, loaded the bases twice in the first two innings but only scored once on an RBI single by Elroy Jiménez in the first.
