Athletics 2, White Sox 0: Tommy Milone scattered three hits over eight innings and Kurt Suzuki ripped an RBI double in the eighth as host Oakland snapped Chicago's four-game winning streak.
After watching the Athletics get handcuffed by starter Gavin Floyd (1-3) on Tuesday, pinch hitter Kurt Suzuki greeted reliever Matt Thornton by slapping a double to left to plate Daric Barton. Suzuki improved to 8-for-16 with seven RBIs when he enters the game as a pinch hitter.
Suzuki advanced to third on Jemile Weeks' groundout and came around to score after Eric Sogard singled to left field.
Milone (3-1), who was making his first career start versus the White Sox, struck out five and did not walk a batter.
Grant Balfour stranded a runner at third base for his fifth save of the season.
Floyd was saddled with the hard-luck loss after yielding one run on two hits while striking out six in 7 1/3 innings.
