Orlando Cabrera singled in the go-ahead run in the ninth inning and the Cleveland Indians won their seventh straight game, 4-1 over the host Oakland Athletics on Tuesday.
The Indians are off to their best start for the fourth time in franchise history - they last began 20-8 in 1999.
Matt LaPorta and Jack Hannahan hit consecutive one-out singles before Cabrera delivered the tiebreaking hit against Brian Fuentes (1-3).
Asdrubal Cabrera, who had three of Cleveland's 12 hits, finished the scoring with a two-run single.
Fausto Carmona (3-3) gave up one run and five hits in eight innings, and Chris Perez pitched a perfect ninth for his eighth save.
Oakland starter Tyson Ross allowed one run and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out three and walked none.
Indians outfielder Shin-Soo Choo went 0-for-4 with a walk. He was arrested on a DUI charge early Monday morning before the Indians departed for Oakland.
