Dividing a doubleheader, the A's won the first game, 11-3, as Dave Revering, Jeff Newman and Wayne Gross cracked homers, and the Tribe captured the nightcap, 4-2, behind the five-hit hurling of Len Barker. Revering connected for a pair of circuit clouts in the first game -- a solo shot in the fourth inning and two-run blast in the eighth. Newman drilled a bases-empty drive in the fourth and Gross connected for a three-run swat in the ninth.

The Tribe broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth inning of the second game on a walk to Mike Hargrove, single by Toby Harrah and two-run double by Joe Charboneau. [The Sporting News]
