Grove Throttles Cleveland, 2-0
The Oakland Athletics claimed a close win over the Cleveland Indians, due in large part to Lefty Grove. The Oakland left-hander pitched a great game to secure the 2-0 win. Dennis Eckersley earned save number 4 this season. The Indians fall to 8-12 and continue their lackluster start in 2014.

Grove dominated for Oakland, raising his record to 3-1. Cleveland hitters had few good at-bats against the left-hander, who scattered 4 hits over 8 innings while striking out 6.

"Every play was important. Every out was important," said Athletics manager .
