A’s Have 10-Run Fourth in 17-6 Rout of White Sox

White SoxCHICAGO (AP) – Josh Reddick homered and drove in four runs during a 10-run fourth inning to power the Oakland Athletics to a 17-6 rout of the Chicago White Sox Tuesday night.
Billy Butler had three hits and three runs batted in, and Eric Sogard and Jake Smolinski each had a pair of RBIs as the Athletics snapped a six-game losing streak against Chicago.

Reddick had a two-run homer and a two-run single in the big inning. The 17 runs were the most by the A’s since they scored 18 on Sept. 11, 2013, against the Minnesota Twins.

Aaron Brooks (2-3) allowed six runs on 10 hits in six-plus innings for the win. Brooks had been 0-3 with a 14.14 ERA in his last five games in the majors with an opponents’ batting average of .439 before Tuesday.

Melky Cabrera had a homer and three RBIs and Alexei Ramirez had a solo homer for the White Sox.
