OAKLAND, Calif., May 4 (UPI) -- Asdrubal Cabrera's two-run single highlighted a three-run ninth inning for Cleveland Tuesday and the Indians downed Oakland 4-1.

Fausto Carmona (3-3) picked up the win, allowing one run on five hits and five strikeouts over eight innings. Chris Perez handled the final inning for his eighth save.
Cabrera has three of Cleveland's 12 hits.
