Browns Grind Out 2-1 Win
The Cleveland Browns downed the Cincinnati Bengals, 2-1, at Cleveland Browns Stadium. Stellar pitching by Ben Harmon had a lot to do with it. The right-hander handcuffed his opponent all game. The Bengals, now 7-13, continue their sluggish start.

Eric Stoddard drove in one run for Cleveland. The 35-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Chih-hsiung Zhang. It was his 6th RBI of the season.

"Every loss hurts," said Cincinnati manager Cody Ray. "But this was a tough one."
