Donaldson Leads A's to Victory Against Indians

It wasn't a shutout by any means - the Indians scored twice in the second inning and twice in the eighth, but a win is a win and the A's will surely take it.

It was Josh Donaldson who was the hero on this particular night. With the A's down 2-0 and two runners on base, he crushed a 3-2 pitch over the left field wall for a three-run homer.

The put the A's in front, and they would never look back. They would add on with runs in the sixth, seventh, and ninth to take it 8-4.

Yoenis Cespedes and Josh Reddick both had three-hit games, and each also knocked in a run as well.

Travis Blackely pitched 5.2 solid innings, allowing two runs on three hits. The A's bullpen held down the fort to earn a victory for the Australian lefty.
