Blue Moon Odom and two relievers, Darold Knowles and Rollie Fingers, combined to pitch the Athletics to a 2-0 victory over the Indians. Mike Epstein decided the outcome with a homer off Gaylord Perry in the seventh inning. The A's added an insurance run when Ted Kubiak tripled and Knowles singled in the eighth.
