Two homers -- one by Reggie Jackson with a man on base in the third inning and the other by Bert Campaneris with two out in the 10th -- powered the Athletics to a 3-2 victory over the Indians. Eddie Leon homered for the Indians to tie the score in the eighth after their first run had counted in the previous frame on a double by Alex Johnson and single by Graig Nettles.
