OAKLAND, Calif.—Armando Alvarez and Zack Gelof hit RBI singles, and Lawrence Butler knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly—all in the seventh inning—as the Oakland Athletics rallied past the Chicago White Sox 3–2 on Wednesday.

The White Sox lost their 10th straight series, one day after ending their American League record-tying 21-game losing streak. Chicago (28–89) hasn’t won consecutive games since a three-game streak from June 27–29. The White Sox fell to 8–24 in one-run games and 0–67 when trailing after seven innings.
