Browns Lose to 1837 BBC, 6-2
The 1837 BBC had to overcome a fine performance from Cleveland pitcher Ryunosuke Kurota to grab a 6-2 win at Factory of Sadness. Kurota allowed 2 earned runs over 6 innings. Houston reliever Alexis Zambaco was credited with the win, to go to 7-2. Ryunosuke Kurota took the loss for Cleveland. Gil Herrera closed it out for his 2nd save.

Had Zack Murphy not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Murphy hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the 1837 BBC.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" Murphy told the Houston News. "You win just by scoring more runs."

With the victory, the 1837 BBC record now stands at 33-22.
