Browns Win, 5-3, Versus Pittsburgh
No one was more impactful than Eric Stoddard in the 5-3 Cleveland win over Pittsburgh. Stoddard was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. J.D. Sanchez, now 1-0, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 1 and walking 0. Adam Taute earned the save for Cleveland, his 2nd.

Cleveland took a 4-3 lead on Johnny Betancur's 4th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Betancur hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Pittsburgh pitcher Bryant Lecaros visibly frustrated.

Betancur called the win "a lesson in teamwork."

The loss makes Pittsburgh 4-5.
