A double by Eddie Leon plated two runs in the eighth inning to provide the Indians an 8-6 victory in their sweep of a three-game series with the Athletics. The A's had homers by Gene Tenace, Blue Moon Odom, Rick Monday and Don Mincher, each with the bases empty, while the Indians got a three-run smash from Graig Nettles and a solo swat by Jack Heidemann. With the score tied, 6-6, singles by Ray Fosse and Duke Sims set the stage for Leon's winning double.
