Permitting just three hits, Rick Langford hurled the A's to an 8-0 blanking of the Indians. Dwayne Murphy drove in three runs with a two-run homer in the third inning and an RBI single in the fifth, and Jeff Newman drove home four runs with a run-scoring single in the sixth and three-run double in the seventh.
