EDGE Analysis

The left-hander retired Austin Jackson and Adam Eaton to start the frame, but then left a pitch right over the middle of the plate to Rollins, who put it over the left field wall for the go-ahead run. David Robertson closed things out for Chicago, sending Oakland to its second straight one-run loss to begin the season. Doolittle, the A's closer, pitched a scoreless inning with one hit allowed and one strikeout in the opener.
