Gio Gonzalez pitched seven shutout innings and the Oakland Athletics scored all their runs on homers in a 5-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday.
Jeff Larish hit a two-run shot in the second off Tribe starter Fausto Carmona (11-12), who is continuing his second-half struggles. Coco Crisp hit a solo homer in the fifth and Jack Cust added a two-run blast in the seventh.
Crisp had three hits against his former club, scored a pair of runs and stole his 22nd base of the season.
Gonzalez (11-8) continued his dominance over the Indians despite three errors behind him. Gonzalez allowed five hits and struck out seven and is now 4-0 in five lifetime starts against Cleveland.
Carmona allowed four runs in 6 2/3 innings. Since July 28, Carmona is 1-5 with a 6.94 ERA and has lost four consecutive starts.
The Indians loaded the bases in both the second and fourth innings with two outs, but Gonzalez got Trevor Crowe to strike out in the second and ground out in the fourth to end both threats.
