Steady six-hit pitching by Matt Keough carried the A's to a 5-1 victory over the Indians. The A's scored in the third inning on a triple by Dave McKay and RBI single by Dwayne Murphy. Dave Revering and Wayne Gross clouted back-to-back homers in the sixth. The loss was the fourth straight for the Tribe. [The Sporting News]
