Athletics 3, Indians 1
OAKLAND, Calif. — David DeJesus hit his first two home runs of the season, former Ray Grant Balfour got his first save, and the Athletics snapped the Indians' seven-game winning streak. DeJesus had never had two home runs in a game in nine seasons in the majors, and he was hitting .227 entering the game. He had gone 55 games without a home run. The Athletics had only four hits, but that was all they needed behind starter Trevor Cahill. He avoided serious jams and matched his career-high with 116 pitches.
