CLEVELAND (AP) Jason Kipnis hit one of Cleveland's four homers, leading the Indians to a 6-3 win over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday night.

Jose Ramirez, Abraham Almonte and Mike Napoli also went deep for the AL Central-leading Indians.

Cleveland broke a 2-all tie with a four-run fourth in which Almonte and Napoli homered. The rally came after Billy Butler tied the game with a home run in the top of the inning and flipped his bat several feet from home plate, a move the Indians quickly answered.
