Buffalo Downed, 5-2, by Browns
Cleveland and Buffalo duked it out and the Browns came out victorious.

Buffalo got a valiant performance from pitcher Carlos Sandoval, but it wasn't enough to beat the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland won the game, 5-2. Sandoval threw 8.0 innings of 4-hit ball for the losing team. The Browns now have a record of 15-18 with the win over Buffalo.

Jorge Garcia came through with a big-time hit for Cleveland. The center fielder smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Garcia called the win "a lesson in teamwork."
