OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Mark Teahen's RBI double capped a ninth-inning comeback Wednesday and the Chicago White Sox broke an eight-game skid with a 4-3 win over Oakland.

Trailing 3-2 entering their last at-bat, Carlos Quentin drew a one-out walk off Brad Ziegler (3-5). Pinch-runner Alejandro De Aza went to second on an out and scored the tying run when Mark Kotsay delivered a single.

Gordon Beckham came in to run for Kotsay and scored all the way from first when Teahen doubled to deep left center for the go-ahead score.

Matt Thornton (4-4) collected the win for tossing a scoreless eighth. Chris Sale got his third save after striking out pinch hitter Steve Tolleson with two on in the ninth to end the game.

Oakland starter Brett Anderson allowed only one run on six hits through 6 2/3 innings.

Chris Carter whacked his first major league homer for the A's.
