The A's ended their five-game losing streak with a 7-3 victory over the Indians. The A's scored four unearned runs in the second inning. Two-out singles by Tony Armas and Mike Adams and Tom Veryzer's error on Joe Wallis' roller filled the bases.

A single by Taylor Duncan got two runs home and a double by Mitchell Page plated another pair. A homer by Dave Revering, a walk, stolen base, passed ball and throwing error by catcher Bo Diaz netted two more Oakland tallies in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
