The Indians used a rare power display to conclude a three-game sweep of the A's with a 5-3 victory and reach the .500 mark for the first time since April 12. Cliff Johnson started the Tribe's scoring with a sacrifice fly in the first and teamed up with Mike Hargrove on back-to-back homers in the sixth. Toby Harrah homered in the second.
