Steelers Win, 5-3, at Cleveland
Due in large part to second baseman Sun-woo Lee, the Pittsburgh Steelers sunk the Cleveland Browns, 5-3. Lee went 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Dan Lupi, 1-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. Pittsburgh sits at 4-3 in the early going.

Mike Gandolfi came through with a big-time hit for Pittsburgh. The shortstop smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 5-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"You can't take yourself too seriously," Lee told the Pittsburgh Observer. "But at the end of the day, we do play to win ballgames."
