Colts Earn 6-5 Win Against Browns
Fans got some free baseball at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

The Cleveland Browns could not turn a fine performance from right fielder Johnny Betancur into a win. Instead, the Indianapolis Colts prevailed, 6-5. Betancur belted 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Ryan Mattox, credited with the win in relief, is now 1-1. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Mark Vallelunga came to bat in the top of the 11th. Facing Cleveland pitcher Omar Santiago, he hit a full count fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Indianapolis on top, 6-5.

"Exciting game to play in," said Vallelunga. "Getting the win makes it even better."

The loss has the Browns at 13-15.
