Rick Monday, who had gone hitless in 24 trips to the plate, broke out of his slump with two homers to lead the Athletics to a 9-1 victory over the Indians. Monday put the A's ahead with a two-run smash in the sixth inning and added a solo shot in the ninth. Gene Tenace and Sal Bando also drove in three runs apiece.
