White Sox rout Athletics, extend their winless streak

Chicago mounted an early offensive assault, erupting for six runs in the opening inning. Sam Antonacci and Braden Montgomery both contributed home runs to fuel the scoring barrage. The strong offensive showing set the tone for the entire game, leaving the Athletics struggling to keep pace.

Braden Montgomery was the offensive standout for the White Sox, achieving a career-best of four runs batted in during a single game. This notable performance came in just his recent call-up to the major leagues, having debuted on June 9th.

The 9-1 victory completed a three-game sweep for the White Sox over the Athletics, with Chicago outscoring Oakland 24-2 over the series. This decisive series win comes after the White Sox themselves were swept in their previous three-game set against Boston. Chicago now holds the lead in the AL Central division as the league heads into the All-Star break.
