Last Meeting ( Apr 18, 2026 ) Chi. White Sox 6, Athletics 7
Reigning American League Rookie of the Year Nick Kurtz is looking to escape the sophomore slump.
The Athletics' first baseman hit .290 last season with 64 extra-base hits -- 36 of them home runs -- to go with 86 RBIs. But on Saturday night against the Chicago White Sox, his two-run homer in the seventh inning tied the game at 6, and the A's went on to win 7-6 in 11 innings on Max Muncy's sacrifice fly.
The teams will finish their three-game series on Sunday afternoon in West Sacramento, Calif., after splitting the first two contests. The White Sox have homered four times in the first two games, the A's twice.
One of those home runs was Kurtz's second of the season, off reliever Jordan Leasure in the seventh to make the score 6-6 as the A's erased an early 5-0 White Sox lead.
Kurtz said he knows his home-run pop can come and go.
"It's baseball. It's not always going to happen," he said of balls going over the fence. "Especially for me. I feel like I'm a streaky power hitter, so when the times come where you put them all together, they'll come together."
Kurtz has kept a positive view throughout the first 21 games of the season, putting his focus on team success for the A's.
"I wouldn't really call it frustrating with the home runs, because we're sitting here around .500. That's all you can focus on, is winning games."
Hitting only .235, Kurtz has had no trouble getting on base. His 23 walks lead the major leagues. He has 19 hits.
There could be a chance for both offenses to pile on the runs after the teams' bullpens were stretched in the first two games.
On Friday, when Chicago won 9-2, the Athletics' bullpen covered 4 1/3 innings, and the A's used four relievers after starter Luis Severino exited in the sixth inning. On Saturday, the White Sox used six relievers following the departure of Erick Fedde in the fifth.
Munetaka Murakami broke open Friday's game with a grand slam in the seventh for the White Sox.
On Sunday, the Athletics will turn to left-hander Jeffrey Springs (3-0, 1.46 ERA) as the starter. Springs, with his fourth team in nine seasons, is 1-1 with a 5.54 ERA in four career appearances (two starts) against the White Sox.
Rookie left-hander Noah Schultz (0-1, 6.23 ERA) will start for Chicago. A first-round selection for the White Sox in the 2022 MLB Draft, Schultz will make his second career start after debuting against Tampa Bay on Tuesday. He took the loss, giving up four runs (three earned) in 4 1/3 innings of the 8-5 game.
Schultz said he saw both the positive and negative in his performance.
"A lot of stuff to build off of," he said. "A lot of things I was proud of, a lot of things I need to work on this week."
Schultz acknowledged there were "definitely nerves in the first inning" when three runs scored, but he credited himself for the way he "bounced back" and "got ahead of hitters a little bit more" in the following innings.
The White Sox are looking to win their first series win since they swept the Toronto Blue Jays from April 3-5.
