Laureano's walk-off hit lifts Athletics over Indians

After retiring the side in the eighth inning, A.J. Cole (0-1) promptly issued
a lead-off walk to Olson and a single to Kendrys Morales in the ninth. Stephen
Piscotty's sacrifice bunt advanced the runners and Laureano's bloop single off
the end of the bat to shallow right field plated Olson for the Athletics'
second straight walk-off win.

Oakland closer Blake Treinen (2-2) entered Saturday's game in the ninth having
recorded 32 consecutive scoreless innings at home, but that streak came to an
end after Leonys Martin's single to left plated Jordan Luplow to forge a tie
at 2. Cleveland had been 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position prior to
Martin's single.

Nick Hundley tripled and scored on a throwing error in the fifth inning and
Matt Chapman had an RBI single for the Athletics, who made the most of their
four hits to defeat the Indians for the ninth time in 10 meetings.

Martin belted his team-leading sixth homer and Trevor Bauer struck out a
season high-tying 10 over seven innings for the Indians, who have dropped five
of their last seven contests.

After Martin went deep to tie the game at 1 in the top of the fifth, Hundley
recorded what amounted to a Little League homer in the bottom of the frame.

Hundley jumped on a 1-1 fastball from Bauer and sent a towering shot that
caromed off the left-field wall and past outfielder Jake Bauers, allowing him
to advance toward third. Bauers retrieved the ball and threw it to Jose
Ramirez, but the ball skipped over the glove of the third baseman to allow
Hundley to scoot home and give Oakland a 2-1 lead.

After capping the scoring with a walk-off homer to lead off the 12th inning of
Friday's 4-3 win, Chapman opened the scoring in the first as his single to
left-center field plated Marcus Semien.

Martin forged a tie with two outs in the fifth inning, depositing a 2-2
fastball from Aaron Brooks over the right-field wall.
