CHICAGO -- A native Chicagoan who was a Cubs fan, Adam Rosales took a little extra satisfaction Thursday night when he homered in the 10th inning. Rosales two-out homer helped lift the Oakland Athletics to a 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox. "It feels really special," Rosales said. "I had family in the stands and a lot of friends. I grew up a Cubs fan, I grew up coming here when it was Comiskey (Park). Just to play on this field is a great opportunity, and to do that is just unbelievable to me." Rosales fourth homer of the season came off White Sox reliever Matt Thornton (0-2), one of a season-high four homers for the As. Oaklands Yoenis Cespedes hit two home runs for the second time in three games. Josh Reddick also connected. All four longballs were solo shots. As reliever Jerry Blevins (5-0) pitched the ninth for the win, and Grant Balfour gave up one hit in the 10th for his 14th save. The As have won six of seven and 17 of 20. Oakland is 12-2 during a 17-day stretch without a day off. "The guys have just been awesome, theyve been playing really well, a great team chemistry, guys coming up big and getting big hits and pitchers keeping us in the ballgame," Rosales said. "Its been a great start to the season." Oakland right fielder Reddick had two of the biggest plays of the night. In the bottom of the fifth, he threw out Chicagos Tyler Flowers trying to score from second on Alejandro De Azas single to right. Had Flowers scored, that would have been Chicagos fifth run. "Nobodys really challenged my arm this year," Reddick said. "Thats one thing I take pride in, thats the best part of my game on defence, throwing guys out. For them to actually try that made me feel really good that there are some guys that are going to try and run on that." And Reddicks homer in the seventh tied it 4-all. "Its hard to pick one," Reddick said when asked which play was more crucial. "Theyre both equally as important. The throw-out saves a run and if that run scores, we lose in the ninth. "And, obviously, if you dont hit the home run, we dont go into extra innings and win the ballgame," Reddick added. "Its harder to pick one. Youve got to look at them both the same way and look at them as saving the ballgame." The White Sox have lost nine of their last 10 games and have been outscored 47-26 in their last nine games. Chicago has lost all four games against Oakland this season. "We need to start winning some games or we might be saying bye to some people in July," White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham said. "Hopefully, we can start winning and get a streak going." White Sox starter Jose Quintana went 7 2-3 innings, giving up four runs on seven hits. He did not walk a batter but gave up three home runs. Oakland starter Dan Straily pitched seven innings, gave up four runs on six hits, walked two and struck out three. "I thought (Straily) pitched really well and I think his confidence has gotten to a point where he can give up some runs and still stay with it," As manager Bob Melvin said. "Whereas earlier in the season it might have snowballed or cratered on him a little bit. It was impressive." After Straily retired the first seven batters he faced, the White Sox scored three runs in the bottom of the third. Beckham singled to centre, but was forced at second when Flowers hit into a fielders choice. De Aza doubled down the right field line, scoring Flowers. Alexei Ramirezs bloop single to short centre scored De Aza. Ramirez then stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch by Straily and scored on Alex Rios single to centre. The As broke up Quintanas perfect game with two outs in the fourth when Cespedes drove a 1-1 pitch into the left-centre stands to make it 3-1. Oakland closed the gap to 3-2 in the top of the fifth when Nate Freiman led off with a single to centre and scored on Rosales double just inside the third base line. Beckham led off the fifth with a walk, Flowers double pushed Beckett to third and De Aza singled to score Beckham. Oakland again closed Chicagos lead to one run in the sixth when Cespedes hit his second homer of the game -- and 13th this year -- a one-out drive to right-centre. The As tied it at 4 in the seventh on Reddicks longball to right field, his second of the season. The White Sox played without manager Robin Ventura, who was excused from Thursday and Fridays games to attend his daughters graduation in California. Bench coach Mark Parent filled in for Ventura on Thursday, while pitching coach Don Cooper will manage Friday.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Argentinas players locked arms and danced in a circle near midcourt. In the stands, their fans were just warming up.Dressed in blue and white, they sang, shouted and even cried together. This was an Olympic moment to savor.Beating Brazil, on its home court, is as good as it gets for Argentina.Facundo Campazzo made two 3-pointers to open the second overtime and three free throws in the final minute, leading Argentina to a thrilling 111-107 win Saturday over Brazil in a mens basketball game that had it all.The matchup between South American neighbors and bitter rivals didnt disappoint as the teams went back and forth for 50 exhausting minutes, trading leads, baskets and big moments.We wanted it to be a big basketball party, and it was, said Argentina captain Luis Scola. We had to win, somebody has to win, somebody has to lose, but I think people enjoyed. It was quite a show.Argentina forward Andres Nocioni made a 3-pointer that tantalizingly sambaed on the rim before dropping with 3.8 seconds left to force the first overtime. Brazils Leandro Barbosa went on a blurring, nine-point scoring binge in the second overtime, and Manu Ginobili, Argentinas balding, beloved basketball icon, came up with a big offensive rebound in the final seconds and made two free throws to seal a win that adds to his legacy as one of his countrys Golden Generation.Unbelievable game, said Ginobili, a four-time NBA champion with the San Antonio Spurs. The rivalry is amazing, but sometimes it doesnt mean that the games are like this. Today was ridiculous.When the final horn sounded, Ginobili hugged Scola and they wrapped their arms around the 5-foot-11 Campazzo, who buzzed around the floor like a hummingbird. The two-time Olympian finished with 33 points, 11 assists, four rebounds and four steals. He may not always make the smart play, but the 25-year-old Campazzo made more big ones than any other player.I do want to kill him a lot of times, Scola said playfully. I think everybody does.Nocioni, who played five seasons with the Chicago Bulls, finished with 37 points for Argentina, which improved to 3-1 in the tournaments brutal Group B, which includes Spainn, Lithuania and Croatia.ddddddddddddThe Argentines have their sights on a medal to go with their gold from Athens in 2004 and bronze from Beijing four years later.Nene scored 24 with 11 rebounds to lead Brazil, which fell to 1-3 and isnt assured of advancing to the quarterfinals.Down by eight late in the fourth quarter, Argentina rallied and tied it when Nocioni launched a 3 from the left corner that hit the rim, bounced off the backboard and touched the rim two more times before falling through. Nene went up to try to swat the ball off the rim -- legal in international competition -- but the NBA players delayed reaction cost him.Brazil appeared to have control in overtime, taking a 94-88 lead with less than three minutes left, but Campazzo scored twice and Nocioni hit one of his eight 3s as the Argentines pushed it to a second extra session.Argentina went up by seven early in the second overtime, but Barbosa brought Brazil back and pulled the hosts within 109-107.Guard Carlos Delfino could have put the game away but missed both free throws with three seconds left. Ginobili, though, bailed him out by running down the loose ball before he was fouled.It was a double-dose of defeat for Brazil on Saturday as their women were beaten 79-76 in two overtimes by Turkey.Olympic officials beefed up security on the Olympic Park in preparation for the game pitting bordering countries that share a passion for sports but have been at odds for centuries.In hopes of keeping their fans from fighting, Scola and Brazil captain Marcelo Huertas addressed the crowd before the game, urging them to respect one another.Scola didnt want an ugly, violent scene like the ones that have plagued soccer matches.Its not the place for that, he said. Its a place for families, a place for friends. Its a place to have fun, and we wanted to just stop it. Obviously we cant stop it, but we tried to encourage people to have fun. We want them to come. We want them to scream, jump, celebrate, cry if they want to.For more than two hours, thats what they did.
