A's TAKE GAME 2 The A's took the 2-0 series lead behind a gem from Jason Kurtz and a 3-run home run from Bo McIntyre. The game was a pitchers' duel between Kurtz and the Sox' Victor Ruiz. Kurtz gave up just 3 hits and struck out 6, while Ruiz yielded only 4 hits and K'ed 4. The White Sox drew first blood in the top of the fifth. Weldon reached first, breaking his lumber in the process. He swiped second. And two batters later, Valerio roped a single to center to plate Weldon. In the A's half of the sixth, Alan Donaruma led off with a bunt single that stopped right on the chalk. Asdornvuttirkai drew a walk. And Tapper ripped a ball just out of the reach of the Sox shortstop, scoring Donaruma to tie it up. With two on, McIntyre then smacked one over the right fielder and legged out the home run. With the 3-run cushion, Kurtz made quick work in the 7th, retiring the Sox 1-2-3. Game 3 is Wednesday at Ryan.
