Cleveland Gets 7-6 Win Versus Washington in 15
No one was more impactful than Rick Gruber in the 7-6 Cleveland win over Washington. Gruber went 4-7 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 6 runs and scored once. The winner was Cleveland reliever Frank Rudin, now 3-0. The loser was David Rodriquez. Cleveland now has a record of 44-22 with the win.

The game was decided with no one out in the bottom of the 15th. With Cleveland trailing 6-5, Gruber hit a changeup from David Rodriquez for a 2-run single. In the blink of an eye, the Bobcats had a walk-off win.

"It's what good teams do, find a way to win," said Gruber.
