CLEVELAND -- The A's were on the other end of the type of play that has cost them several games this season, and it just so happened to be the difference-maker in a 5-4 victory over the Indians.
Having already plated two runs on a two-out double against righty Bryan Shaw to put the A's ahead in the eighth inning, Billy Butler felt the ball hit his back as he was cruising into second base. Josh Reddick, having just reached third, took notice of former teammate Brandon Moss' errant throw from right field and headed home.
