The Oakland Athletics won their 9th in 10 games as prevailing trends continued with a 13-3 win over the Indians Sunday, the second 10-run win of the series.

No A’s player hit a home run this game but Brandon Moss and Josh Donaldson scored four runs apiece and Yoenis Cespedes drove in a career-high five RBIS. Moss was a perfect 3-for-3 as well.

The game winner came during Oakland’s highest-scoring inning, the fifth. They scored four runs on three hits to make it 7-1. Coco Crisp was initially walked and Justin Masterson’s start was called over.

Jesse Chavez (4-1) got his second straight win, pitching five innings while giving up six hits, two runs, three walks and striking out six.

Masterson (2-3) struggled again, pitching 4.1 innings while giving up seven hits and runs apiece, five walks and striking out one. The Indians went through five relief pitchers for the second time this series as well.

Cleveland scored first with the first chance they got, a leadoff home run by Michael Bourn in the bottom of the first.

The A’s tied it in the top of the second. Moss led off with a triple and scored on a throwing error.

They went up 3-1 in the top of the 4th thanks to two leadoff walks. After one out, John Jaso doubled in Donaldson and Reddick singled in Moss.

The Indians’ Michael Brantley made it 7-2 in the bottom of the 5th with a one-out home run.

In the top of the 6th, Cleveland got two outs but Nick Punto doubled, Donaldson was intentionally walked, moved over on a passed ball and both scored on a double by Brandon Moss to make it 9-2. That took out Josh Outman and brought in Scott Atchison

A’s also made a pitching change in the bottom of the inning, bringing in Jim Johnson for Chavez. However, Johnson struggled. He hit Lonnie Chisenhall but Chisenhall was called out at second, then walked three straight batters to load the bases and walked in a run. Fernando Abad came in to strike out Ryan Raburn to end the inning.

In the top of the 7th, Jaso made it to first on a fielding error and scored on a double by Reddick to get the bottom of the 6th run back.

The Indians’ Cody Allen replaced Atchison in the top of the 8th inning, but didn’t record a single out. Allen gave up a leadoff single, two straight walks to load the bases and a double to bring in two more runs. Kyle Crockett then came in and Jaso ground out to make it 13-3, Crockett struck out Reddick and got Alberto Callaspo to line out.

Game notes: Oakland’s Jed Lowrie strained his neck and had to leave the game. The A’s get a day off before facing the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday at 4:10pm.
