Mark Canha added two hits and Dustin Garneau
contributed a two-run double, helping the A's enjoy success on
the South Side of Chicago after losing two of three on the North
Side to the Cubs earlier in the week.
Fiers (11-3) extended his streak of unbeaten starts to 17 with
seven shutout innings, allowing three hits and no walks. He
struck out eight.
The veteran improved to 4-0 in his last eight road starts and
4-0 in his career against the White Sox.
Fiers enjoyed a lead before his first pitch after Chapman belted
his 25th homer of the season, a solo shot, on White Sox
left-hander Ross Detwiler's sixth pitch of the game.
Piscotty made it 2-0 in the second with his 11th homer of the
year, and the A's broke the game open with a five-run eighth.
Pinder followed a walk to Canha with a two-run homer, his 11th
of the season, to double the Oakland advantage. After Khris
Davis walked and Piscotty singled, Jurickson Profar doubled home
a run for a 5-0 lead before Garneau lashed his two-run double to
complete the scoring.
Jake Diekman and Joakim Soria each pitched a scoreless inning to
complete Oakland's seventh shutout of the season. Fiers has
started four of them.
Chapman and Piscotty also finished with two hits each for the
A's, who swept a three-game home series against the White Sox in
July.
Tim Anderson had two of Chicago's four hits as the White Sox
lost for the ninth time in their last 10 home games.
The White Sox had no extra-base hits in the game.
Detwiler (1-3) allowed two runs and four hits in 5 1/3 innings.
He walked four and struck out four.
