Jed Lowrie belted a two-run, walk-off home run with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning Friday night, giving the Oakland Athletics a dramatic 5-4 win over the visiting Cleveland Indians in their return from the All-Star break.
Lowrie s 11th homer of the season came after Cleveland s Bradley Zimmer had broken a late tie with a solo home run and three Indians relievers had combined for three innings of shutout ball.
But the fourth reliever, closer Emmanuel Clase (3-5), had no such luck, allowing a leadoff single in the ninth to Elvis Andrus and Lowrie s blast one out later.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Jed Lowrie hit a game-ending, two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to rally the Oakland Athletics past the Cleveland Indians 5-4 on Friday night.
It appeared the Indians were in line for a comeback win themselves after erasing a 3-0 deficit. But then Lowrie drilled a 1-1 pitch over the right field wall off Emmanuel Clase (3-5) with one out, after Elvis Andrus led off the ninth with a single.
Bradley Zimmer hit a go-ahead homer in the seventh for Cleveland, which had its three-game winning streak snapped. Roberto Perez also went deep for the Indians.

Adolis Garcia s two-run, go-ahead single highlighted a three-run sixth inning, and the Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 3-2 on Friday night in Arlington, Texas.
Oakland s Cole Irvin (6-8) did not allow a hit through the first five innings, but things quickly fell apart in the sixth for the left-hander. He was pulled after failing to retire any of the first four batters he faced in the frame.
With the A s leading 2-0, Texas Eli White and Charlie Culberson opened the bottom of the sixth with back-to-back singles, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa was hit by an Irvin pitch for the second time in the contest.
