Jack Cust drove in the game’s only other run for Oakland, which has won six of seven.
Gonzalez (7-5) has been dominant against the Indians, notching two wins against them this season while pitching 13 2/3 scoreless innings. The left-hander has made four starts against the Indians the last two seasons and is 3-0 in that span.
Gonzalez gave up five hits, walked four and struck out five to win for the first time since June 6.
Andrew Bailey pitched a perfect ninth for his 16th save.
Mitch Talbot (8-7) gave up three runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings to absorb the loss.
Oakland scored in the first when Cust walked with the bases loaded. Ellis' double gave the A's a three-run lead to end Cleveland's season-high five-game winning streak.
