CHICAGO — The White Sox won back-to-back games for the first time in nearly three months, beating the Oakland Athletics 4-3 behind home runs from Gavin Sheets and Bryan Ramos to end a streak of 20 consecutive series losses. A day after scoring in the ninth to win 7-6 and stop a 16-game home losing streak, the White Sox took a 3-0 first-inning lead and strung together wins for the first time since three in a row against Atlanta and Colorado from June 27-29. Chicago is 35-115 with 12 games left and is trying to avoid the post-1900 record of 120 losses by the 1962 expansion New York Mets.
