(AP) -- Gio Gonzalez pitched six strong innings for his first win of the season and the Oakland Athletics beat the Cleveland Indians 5-2 on Sunday.
Prior to the game, Indians general manager Mark Shapiro said manager Eric Wedge will keep his job for the rest of the season, even though Cleveland has the worst record in the AL. Despite the news, the Indians failed to complete a three-game sweep and lost for the 14th time in 18 games.
Gonzalez (1-2) allowed two runs and struck out a career-high eight for his second career win and first since Aug. 12 of last season when he defeated Tampa Bay.
Andrew Bailey, Oakland's lone representative on the AL all-star team, recorded the final four outs for his ninth save in 13 chances.
