Claudell Washington homered with a man on base and Bert Campaneris batted in two runs with a single and squeeze bunt to lead the Athletics to a 6-3 victory over the Indians. After the Indians took a 2-0 lead, the A's tied the score in the second with singles by Washington, Phil Garner and Campaneris together with an error, one of five committed by the Indians. Campaneris' squeeze bunt put the A's ahead in the fourth and Washington's homer followed in the fifth before the A's added their last tally on two errors and a double by Garner in the sixth.
