Athletics 13, Indians 3:
Yoenis Cespedes had a pair of two-run doubles and a career-high five RBIs and Brandon Moss collected three extra-base hits and drove in three runs as visiting Oakland completed a dominating three-game sweep of Cleveland.

Josh Reddick had two hits and two RBIs and John Jaso drove in a pair as the Athletics outscored the Indians 30-6 to improve to 9-1 in their last 10. Jesse Chavez (4-1) benefited from the offensive onslaught, giving up two runs on five hits while throwing 109 pitches over five innings.

Michael Bourn and Michael Brantley clubbed solo homers for the skidding Indians, who tumbled to their fourth consecutive defeat. Justin Masterson (2-3), who blanked Oakland over seven innings on Opening Day, was pummeled for seven runs on seven hits and five walks over 4 1/3 innings to drop to 2-7 lifetime against the Athletics.

Bourn hit his first homer in the first to give Cleveland the early lead for the third straight game in the series, but Moss tripled and scored the first of his four runs on Cespedes' grounder in the second before Oakland went ahead in the fourth on Jaso's RBI double and Reddick's run-scoring single. Moss followed Josh Donaldson's RBI single by doubling home a run in the fifth before Cespedes plated a pair with another double to make it 7-1.

Brantley belted a 432-foot homer in the fifth before the Athletics resumed the beating in the sixth on a two-run double by Moss for a 9-2 cushion. The extra-base hit parade continued with Reddick's RBI double in the seventh and Cespedes' second two-run double in the eight.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Moss recorded multiple hits for the sixth time in 11 games, a stretch that includes four homers, two triples, six doubles and 15 RBIs. ... Indians 3B Lonnie Chisenhall and 1B Nick Swisher each committed errors to give Cleveland a major league-leading 45 in 44 games. ... Athletics SS Jed Lowrie exited in the game with a neck strain and is listed as day-to-day. He was replaced by Nick Punto. ... The Indians open a three-game series against AL Central-leading Detroit on Monday while Oakland, which claimed veteran LHP Jeff Francis off waivers from Cincinnati after the contest, continues its nine-game road trip Tuesday with three games at Tampa Bay.
