In today's game between the A's and White Sox,20 year old Oakland rookie Jose Canseco,quickly made a name for himself today,collecting 2 hits, including a 2 run single in the bottom of the 5th which turned out to be the game winner,as Oakland defeated Chicago 4-2.Starting pitcher Don Sutton(7-8) continued to defy father time,going 8 strong,and allowing 2 runs on 6 hits while walking and striking out 1.Reliever Steve Ontiveros earned the save,his 5th of the season thanks to a 1-2-3 9th inning.For Chicago,starting pitcher Joel Davis(3-6) lasted just 5 and two thirds innings and was saddled with the loss.
