The Oakland Athletics have a chance to record their first home series sweep of the season Sunday afternoon when they go for a third consecutive win over the Chicago White Sox.
The A's parlayed an overturned grand slam, a run-scoring balk and a walk-off error into a wild 7-6 win in 10 innings on Saturday.
In a season filled with disappointments, A's manager Mark Kotsay was thrilled to walk away from Saturday's 3-hour, 20-minute affair with a win on a day of unique occurrences. "You can't say enough about the effort Tyler Wade and JJ Bleday showed these guys. They're playing hard. They come to win; they come to compete every day. Those are good signs."
Among Saturday's other highlights was a rare head-to-head between the Perez brothers, both of whom have the first name Carlos.
