Two homers by Andre Thornton paced the Indians to a 14-2 rout of the A's. Thornton smashed a two-run round-tripper in the first inning and hit another two-run shot in the third. The Tribe scored eight runs in the ninth inning, with Mike Hargrove and Ron Hassey clouting two-run homers and Rick Manning delivering a bases-empty wallop. [The Sporting News]
