Baseball: Oakland 9, Chicago White Sox 7

Brandon Inge lined a run-scoring double in the eighth inning for the go-ahead run Saturday and Oakland went on to a 9-7 win over the Chicago White Sox. Trailing 7-6 entering the eighth, Jonny Gomes bashed a one-out solo homer off Matt Thornton (4-8) to tie the game. One out later, Yoenis Cespedes and Chris Carter each singled to put runners at the corners. Brett Myers relieved, and Inge greeted him by smacking a pitch down the right field line, plating Cespedes with the decisive run. Gomes added a run-scoring single in the ninth while Carter and Derek Norris also finished with two RBI each as the A's evened their three-game series. Ryan Cook (5-2) earned the win with 1 1/3 scoreless frames and Grant Balfour collected his eighth save for Oakland. Tyler Flowers went 3-for-3 with a homer and three RBI and Kevin Youkilis added a two-run shot for the White Sox, who maintained a one-game lead over Detroit atop the American League Central.
