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.

Parramatta star Corey Normans NRL season is over after being suspended for eight weeks over his drug possession conviction and sex tape scandal.The NRL on Thursday rubbed Norman out until the end of round 26 and fined him $20,000 over his recent run of bad behaviour.The governing body took a hardline stance after the playmaker had attracted a string of damaging headlines, including pleading guilty after being caught in May with MDMA and muscle relaxants at The Star casino.On the same night, he was photographed alongside housemate James Segeyaro and former teammate Junior Paulo dining with bikies and all three were subsequently warned by police about consorting with criminals.He was also embroiled in a sex tape scandal after a group attempted to sell to the media footage showing Norman performing a sexual act on a woman.The video was made with Normans consent and was sent to friends and teammates.He was also punished after sending a video to teammates via Snapchat of an elderly man snorting a white substance, believed to be cocaine.The message is clear, players cannot put themselves in a position where they may damage their own reputations and that of the game, head of the NRL integrity unit Nick Weeks said.We have been consistent thiss year in imposing strong penalties where players bring the game into disrepute through actions off the field.ddddddddddddWhether it is drug possession, criminal associations or social media use, players understand the consequences that can flow from illegal or other unacceptable conduct.The group selling the Norman sex tape had asked for $150,000, however Weeks said Norman was not a victim in this instance because he had knowingly distributed the video.While it is a regrettable trend in society for people to look to sell footage of sports stars in their private lives, there is an easy solution for our players - do not engage in activity which will damage their reputation or that of the game, Weeks said.Norman was tentatively stood down for one match by the Eels but the NRL demanded he sit out eight weeks.Normans suspension is in line with the eight-week ban handed to Sydney Roosters halfback Mitchell Pearce after his Australia Day video scandal.Roosters coach Trent Robinson earlier this week lashed the NRL for not doing enough to snuff out the trend of third parties attempting to film players for profit.
