A single by Dave McKay drove in the winning run as the A's outlasted the Indians, 6-5, in a 14-inning marathon. Mitchell Page began the winning surge with a walk and advanced to second on a groundout by Wayne Gross.

McKay then shot a line single to center and Page raced home with the decisive marker. The Indians trailed, 5-0, going into the ninth but erupted for five runs as Toby Harrah capped the comeback with a bases-loaded homer. [The Sporting News]
