Sal Bando smashed a two-run homer to tie the score in the ninth inning and then hit a sacrifice fly in the 12th to give the Athletics a 4-3 victory over the Indians. Vida Blue, who started for the A's in quest of his 19th victory, gave up homers by Ken Suarez and Graig Nettles and was losing in his duel with Steve Dunning, 3-1, when Bando took him off the hook with his homer. Blue was lifted after 11 innings and Darold Knowles was the winner. Phil Hennigan, who replaced Dunning in the 10th, was the loser.
