A two-run triple by Jim Norris in the ninth inning enabled the Indians to overhaul the Athletics, 2-1. Dave Rosello grounded into a forceout after Ron Pruitt drew a walk off losing reliever Jim Todd, and pinch-hitter Ted Cox reached base safely on Rob Picciolo's error before Norris greeted reliever Craig Minetto with his three-bagger.
