Terrible Mistake in AP Recap

Today the Indians managed to win (2-1) despite having only one hit.  The AP recap claims:

The last time the Indians won while getting just one hit was April 12, 1992, a 2-1 victory over Boston.

This simply isn't true.  Although it may have been as cold today as it was in April 12, 1992, the Indians actually managed to get two hits that day.  Yet, there were two games played.  Matt Young pitched an 8-inning no-hitter in the first game that Indians won 2-1 and Roger Clemens two-hit the Indians to win 3-0 in the second game.  It may be true that this was the last time the Indians got fewer than two hits and won, but the AP's statement is false as stated.  I was only 11 at the time, but I remember how cold it was at the Stadium and how hot Clemens's fastballs were.
