DAVIDBANKS—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Oakland's Josh Reddick, center, is greeted by teammates a er hitting a two-run home run against the Chicago White Sox during the fourth inning on Tuesday in Chicago. ByJohnJackson The Associated Press CHICAGO Josh Reddick homered and drove in four runs during a 10-run fourth inning to power the Oakland Athletics to a 17-6 rout of the Chicago White Sox Tuesday night. Billy Butler had three hits and three runs batted in, and Eric So- gard and Jake Smolinski each had a pair of RBIs as the Athletics snapped a six-game losing streak against Chicago. Reddick had a two-run homer and a two-run single in the big in- ning. The 17 runs were the most by the A's since they scored 18 on Sept. 11, 2013, against the Minne- sota Twins. Aaron Brooks (2-3) allowed six runs on 10 hits in six-plus innings for the win. Brooks had been 0-3 with a 14.14 ERA in his last five games in the majors with an oppo- nents' batting average of .439 be- fore Tuesday. Melky Cabrera had a homer and three RBIs and Alexei Ramirez had a solo homer for the White Sox. Jeff Samardzija (9-13) was roughed up for 10 runs and 11 hits in three-plus innings. The right- hander has dropped eight of nine starts since the non-waiver trade deadline on July 31. Oakland took a 6-2 edge into the fourth inning. Samardzija faced four batters in the inning and failed to record an out. Marcus Semien led off with a single and Reddick followed with a two-run shot to make it 8-2. Mark Canha started a new rally with a single and scored on a double by Butler for a 9-2 mar- gin. That was it for Samardzija, but the A's were far from finished. Dan- iel Webb walked the first two bat- ters he faced to load the bases. Af- ter Sogard popped out in foul ter- ritory for the first out, Smolinski followed with a high-bouncing grounder to third base. Mike Olt bobbled it for an error, allowing Smolinski to reach and then picked up another error when he threw wide of first base. Butler scored on the grounder and the throwing er- ror allowed Max Muncy to score to make it 11-2.

FIELD HOCKEY Cardinals come up short vs. Davis By John Marshall The Associated Press PHOENIX The Pac-12 has been called the conference of quarter- backs, and this season, it's living up to the billing. It's just two games into the sea- son, but the Pac-12's quarterbacks have been stellar at times, featur- ing seven returning starters, in- cluding a star-in-the-making at UCLA, and a talented group of newcomers. A rundown of what some of the conference's top quarterbacks have done so far this season: JARED GOFF, CALIFORNIA An ar- gument can be made that Goff is the best of the bunch in the Pac- 12. He certainly has the num- bers.

NFL 49ersnotcomplaining about short week REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM/49ERS By Janie McCauley The Associated Press SANTACLARA Jarryd Hayne recalls his forgettable debut in what is of- ten considered the pinnacle of rugby league and a premier sporting event back home in Australia, the State of Origin series. With the world watching him under the lights on Monday night, Hayne fumbled away his very first NFL touch — and there was an eerie similarity to that moment in 2007 with New South Wales. "I did a similar thing in Origin in my debut game. I gave away a try and I threw the ball when I shouldn't have thrown the ball," Hayne re- called. "It was kind of similar, like, '(Shoot), I didn't want that to hap- pen.'" The 49ers rookie could be seen hollering at himself after fumbling his first punt return try in San Fran- cisco's 20-3 victory against the Min- nesota Vikings at Levi's Stadium. But the 27-year-old Hayne had no choice but to move on in a hurry as he was forced into backup running back duties in place of the injured Reggie Bush. No matter that he was hardly per- fect, Hayne's first NFL game capti- vated his countrymen from some 7,000 miles away. In fact, Hayne's debut — and the weeklong mystery of whether he would or wouldn't play — ranked as one of the top daily stories Down Under. While folks back home might have panicked just a bit seeing Hayne's mistake on the big stage, his team- mates weren't concerned. "He came to the sideline and it wasn't like everybody was harping on it. We know that's something it's not just because he's a rookie, in cer- tain instances you see veterans drop balls sometimes," cornerback Ken- neth Acker said Tuesday. "We just surrounded him, every- body had the same level of respect for him and same level of confidence in him, so he went back out there with the same level of confidence."
