Jacksonville Beats Cleveland, 6-3
The rain did not keep Jacksonville and Cleveland from finishing their game.

Thanks in large part to center fielder Angel Cruz, the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Cleveland Browns, 6-3. Cruz was 2-4 with a home run and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Jacksonville pitcher Curtis Pangle earned the win, hiking his record to 1-0. Izzy Colon suffered the loss. The save was credited to Tony Rada, his 5th.

Cruz had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 2-2 fastball from Izzy Colon, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Jaguars a 6-3 lead. It was the 4th home run of the year for Cruz.

"Today was a lot of fun," said Cruz.

Jacksonville, now 12-4, has gotten their season off to a good start.
