Athletics wins a thriller over White Sox in 14 innings

OAKLAND, Calif. (MCT) — Even though he drove home the winning run with a bloop single in the bottom of the 14th inning, Kila Ka’aihue wasn’t foolish enough to take credit for delivering the Athletics’ thrilling 5-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday at the Coliseum.

Ka’aihue deferred to the real hero, Yoenis Cespedes, who took another large step in his rapid rise to stardom with a two-run home run that tied the score after the White Sox had scored two runs in the top of the 14th on an Alexei Ramirez’s double.
