Completing the three-game series sweep, the A's downed the Indians, 5-2, behind Mike Norris' four-hit hurling. Oakland tallied three runs in the fourth inning on a walk to Jeff Burroughs, double by Joe Rudi, run-scoring groundout by Dave McKay and Jeff Newman's two-run homer. The A's added two runs in the fifth on a double by Burroughs and Rudi's single. [The Sporting News]
