BEREA, Ohio -- The appearance of unfamiliar digits on Travis Kelce's cell phone accelerated his pulse and slightly increased his breathing.

It was just before the start of the third round of the NFL Draft and Kelce, a native of Cleveland Heights, was sure it was the life-changing call.

"My heart started jumping when my cellphone started ringing," said Kelce, a tight end for the University of Cincinnati. "I answered it and it was [Kansas City Chiefs] coach Andy Reid. It was a dream come true to get the call, but it quickly became reality because this is all a business and now I have a responsibility to fill. And I can't wait."

The Chiefs didn't wait long to select Kelce with the first pick in the third round, the 63rd overall. Kelce joins a team in transition with veteran quarterback Alex Smith, acquired from the 49ers, and new coach Reid.

Kelce's brother, Jason, played for Reid last season in Philadelphia.

"I met and talked with Coach Reid at the NFL Combine and my brother said that he's an awesome guy and a coach who will hold you accountable," Kelce said. "I look forward to playing for him and with a team on the rise."

Kelce's career received a lift in 2012 when he caught 45 passes for 722 yards and eight touchdowns. He highlighted his career with a spectacular run-and-catch for 83 yards and the game winner against Duke in the Belk Bowl.

Kelce finished his college career as the fourth tight end selected in the draft, after beginning his college career as only a two-star recruit. Now that he worked his way to this moment, the work won't stop.

"I've always had the mentality that I haven't made it and I will keep that mindset and continue to work hard in the NFL," Kelce said. "I'm proud to be a member of the Kansas City Chiefs."

CLEVELAND, Ohio - At the outset of the week, Walsh Jesuit and Nordonia shared the No. 13 ranking in the first Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association Division I state poll. That should change after the Warriors got the better of host Nordonia on Friday via a 6-4 nonleague victory.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - At the outset of the week, Walsh Jesuit and Nordonia shared the No. 13 ranking in the first Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association Division I state poll.

That should change after the Warriors got the better of host Nordonia on Friday via a 6-4 nonleague victory.

Walsh (13-2) jumped out to a 3-0 first-inning lead, then added single tallies in the second, fourth and sixth innings. The Knights (12-4) plated all their runs in the fourth inning.

Blake Jenkins and Riley Minorik headed the Warriors' eight-hit offense with two hits and scored twice. Ryan Feltner added a double and three RBI and Gino Sassano chipped in a double and drove in two runs. 

Nordonia had Brandon Talion's two hits, RBI and run scored pace its six-hit counter.

Kenston 3, Benedictine 2: Dalton Yost was 3 for 3, including an RBI double, and Peter Rozman went 2 for 3, with two doubles and an RBI for the Bombers in the nonleague game. 

Yost doubled home Rozman, who had just doubled, in the bottom of the fifth inning for the game-winning run.

Cuyahoga Heights 2, Rhodes 0: The Redskins scored a run in the bottom of the first and third innings to earn the nonleague win behind Zach Lowther's two-hit pitching and Ryan Rosenlieb's single, double and RBI.

Cuyahoga Falls 3, Green 0: Josh Mack and Henry Shaw belted two hits apiece for the Tigers, who scored a run in the first, third and sixth innings to muster the nonleague victory.

Gilmour Academy 15, Hawken 4: Thirteen Lancer hits coupled with five Hawken errors resulted in the nonleague rout. Ethan Pawlak's three hits and two RBI paced Gilmour.

Amherst 10, Westlake 5: Stanford recruit Griffin Weir hurled a three-hitter while striking out nine, and also doubled and drove in three runs when the Comets prevailed in the Southwestern Conference win.

Stow 3, Twinsburg 1: The Bulldogs came out of the gate quickly to take a 3-0 first-inning lead and never looked back in the NOC win despite being outhit, 7-6, and committing two errors. Parker Henderson's two hits and two RBI did most of the damage for Stow.

Softball

Brecksville-Broadview Heights 1, Poland Seminary 0: The Bees, ranked No. 5 in the Division I state poll, got a solid outing from pitcher Kelly Geringer, who limited 2011 Division II state champion Poland to four hits. 

Syndney Kimball's walk-off home run in the bottom of the seventh inning sealed  the Prebis Tournament win.

Riverside 6, Willoughby South 5: Four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning kept the Beavers in the thick of the Premier Athletic Conference title race. One of Alexis Vargas' two hits accounted for the game-winning RBI.

Elyria 4, Walsh Jesuit 1: Youngstown State recruit Caitlyn Minney was terrific on the mound and with the bat to lead the Pioneers to the Prebis Tournament win.

Euclid 10, Shaw 0: Jalin Steel's double, home run and four RBI, along with Izzy Roberts' one-hit pitching, headed the Panthers' Lake Erie League shutout.

Johnathan Hankins is picked by the New York Giants in the second round, while in the third round Cleveland Heights grad Travis Kelce is taken by Kansas City and Hudson's Brian Winters goes to the New York Jets.

Columbus -- They were the words Johnathan Hankins had been waiting to hear, delivered by New York Giants Director of College Scouting Marc Ross on Friday night.

The Ohio State junior defensive tackle had fallen from a projected first-round pick several months ago to the second round on Friday, taken with the No. 49 overall pick, right about where most analysts figured Hankins would go.

And now it was time for Ross to explain why Hankins might have appeared to wear down, at times, last season, which seemed to be the major knock that kept him out of the first round.

"For a 320-pound-plus guy, he plays the whole game, which you rarely see," Ross said, speaking to reporters at the Giants' draft headquarters. "Most of these defensive tackles rotate in and out of every series. This guy plays the whole game and plays with energy."

Ross said the Giants had a first-round grade on Hankins, liking him as a space-eating defensive tackle who will do the dirty work. But they think he's a two-down player, until he works on his pass rush to stay in on third down.

But for the Buckeyes, he was in every play.

"If he wears down at the end of 60 plays in a game, I understand that," Ross said. "Going to look at his body of work, digging deep into how he is, he's a great kid and he's going to work his butt off, so the concerns others might have had we didn't have."

Hankins is the second-highest Buckeye picked in the past four years. Defensive lineman Cameron Heyward went in the first round to Pittsburgh in 2011. Last year's top Buckeye, offensive tackle Mike Adams, went to the Steelers with the No. 56 pick in the second round.

Hankins was the fourth Big Ten player taken, following Wisconsin offensive lineman Travis Frederick, who was the only conference player taken in the first round Thursday; Purdue defensive tackle Kawann Short, who went at pick No. 44 to Carolina; and Michigan State running back Le'Veon Bell, who was picked right before Hankins by the Steelers.

When the third round began, the Kansas City Chiefs kicked it off by using the No. 63 overall pick on Cleveland Heights grad Travis Kelce, a 6-5, 255-pound tight end from Cincinnati. After dominating the Cuyahoga County East-West All-Star Game in June 2008 as a quarterback, Kelce found his way as a tight end with the Bearcats.

He has good athleticism for the position, along with the needed burst of speed after the catch. His lack of experience at the position, plus a red flag for being suspended all of 2010, possibly kept Kelce from being picked higher.

Kansas City coach Andy Reid perhaps has a bit more insight into Kelce than most, considering he coached Kelce's brother, Jason, who is a center for Reid's former team, the Philadelphia Eagles.

With the 72nd pick, Hudson's Brian Winters from Kent State got the call from the New York Jets. A 6-5, 320-pound offensive lineman, Winters may not know which quarterback he will be protecting for the Jets, who have six quarterbacks on the roster, but he has a chance to be a mainstay in the NFL.

A four-year starter for the Golden Flashes, Winters was the cornerstone of an offensive line that not only paved the way for a two 1,000-yard rushers, but also delivered Kent its first bowl appearance since 1972 as KSU finished 11-3. That included a MAC East Division title and MAC Championship game appearance.

Oberlin High product Hugh Thornton, a guard from Illinois, was drafted in the third round by Indianapolis Colts.

The 49th pick in the 2012 draft was also a defensive lineman, Kendall Reyes of Connecticut. He was drafted by San Diego and signed a four year, $4.17 million contract, with a $1.4 million signing bonus. Hankins will still get a nice payday after his decision to leave the Buckeyes.

"That definitely feels good," Hankins said before the draft of his impending windfall, "knowing that my parents won't have to work anymore and knowing if anybody needs some help I can help them in my family and be the provider in my family. I'm blessed, and I'm going to take care of that money."

The Buckeyes could have six players drafted in rounds four through seven today. Defensive lineman John Simon and offensive tackle Reid Fragel will certainly be selected, while linebackers Nathan Williams and Etienne Sabino, tight end Jake Stoneburner, cornerback Travis Howard and fullback Zach Boren could be picked.

Watch highlights from Cleveland Browns GM Michael Lombardi's press conference as he talked about their trade with the Miami Dolphins for WR Davone Bess.

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns GM Michael Lombardi talks about their trade of draft picks with Miami to get wide receiver Davone Bess.  The Browns traded a fourth (104) and a fifth (164) pick and in return got a fourth (111) and a seventh-round pick (217).

Bess, 5'10" and 190-pounds, has caught 267 passes since 2009, the 14th highest total among all NFL receivers during this time.

The Cleveland Browns bolstered their receiving corps with the addition of veteran receiver Davone Bess in a trade with Miami, and drafted cornerback Leon McFadden, who is expected to challenge for a starting spot in training camp. Watch video

BEREA, Ohio -- On a day in which the Browns had only one pick in the draft, they kept things lively in Berea by introducing first-rounder Barkevious Mingo, trading for veteran receiver Davone Bess and adding a potential starting cornerback in San Diego State's Leon McFadden with their third-round pick.

In taking McFadden (5-9, 163) at No. 68 on the second day of the draft, the Browns passed on three big-name quarterbacks in Southern Cal's Matt Barkley, Syracuse's Ryan Nassib and North Carolina State's Mike Glennon. It means Brandon Weeden's starting job appears safe for now.

"We were more focused on trying to improve the positions of the secondary, defensive line, offensive line, those areas," said Browns General Manager Mike Lombardi.

They also passed on the controversial "Honey Badger," LSU cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, who was picked a notch after McFadden.

"I think you do the research on all the players and you make a decision on kind of what you really feel is the best for your organization, and we just felt Leon was ideally suited," Lombardi said. "He played a lot of football in college. He's competitive, and he's been productive."

During their barren second round, the Browns completed the anticipated trade with the Miami Dolphins for Bess and rewarded him with a three-year extension. He'll arrive in Cleveland Saturday and sign the deal, as long as he passes his physical.

In exchange for Bess, the Browns moved down seven spots in the fourth round (104 to 111) and swapped their fifth-round pick (164) for a seventh-rounder (217). The Dolphins had been believed to be seeking a fourth- or fifth-round pick for the slot receiver.

"Bess is a really talented, productive receiver," said Lombardi, who addressed the media after the selection of McFadden. "I think he's the 14th-most-productive receiver in the NFL over the last four years. He's caught a lot of passes, converted a lot of third downs for the Dolphins. They signed a couple of other receivers this year, so it was a good opportunity for us to bring him in here and see what he can do. In terms of being inside the slot, play outside, he's done both. He'll certainly give us a chance."

A five-year veteran, Bess caught 61 passes for 778 yards and a touchdown in 13 starts last season, but he became expendable when the Dolphins signed free agents Mike Wallace and Brandon Gibson last month. He leaves a team that finished 27th in the NFL with just 18 points per game last year for one that finished 24th with 18.9. Of course, both teams had rookie quarterbacks last season in Weeden and Ryan Tannehill.

In his five seasons with the Dolphins, Bess caught 12 touchdown passes -- and reportedly irked some of his coaches last year when he sat out the final three games with a back injury.

Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Hawaii in 2008, Bess' best season was in 2010, when he caught 79 passes for 820 yards and five touchdowns. He caught 50-plus passes in all five seasons and gained no fewer than 537 yards.

During his career, Bess has accounted for 130 third-down receptions, which is the second most in the NFL in the five-year span from 2008 to 2012, trailing only Roddy White (146).

Bess will provide an insurance policy for fellow slot receiver David Nelson, who was signed as a free agent from the Buffalo Bills. Nelson is coming off a torn anterior cruciate ligament and sat out the recent minicamp.

"I think David will be healthy -- he's close to being healthy coming off of the ACL," Lombardi said. "So it gives us great competition for the coaches to evaluate the players and see what roles they define and how they play. Both players have produced in NFL games and have made plays and scored touchdowns and converted third downs, which is always something you . . . want to have."

Bess, who will face his former team in the opener here Sept. 8, should also help mentor young receivers Greg Little, Josh Gordon and Travis Benjamin.

In McFadden, the Browns drafted a smaller but highly productive corner who's expected to challenge for the starting job opposite Joe Haden. McFadden set the San Diego State record for pass deflections (39) and has eight career interceptions.

"Leon's a four-year starter," Lombardi said. "He's got good mirror skills. He's competitive, can make plays on the football. He's got the attributes that we're looking for, certainly, at the position."

As to whether he'll start, Lombardi said: "I think that's a coach's call. I think he's got the skills to certainly compete, and whoever wins the job will be determined based on their play on the field."

Lombardi doesn't feel McFadden's lack height is an issue.

"He's 5-9, but he weighs 193, so he's got good size to him," Lombardi said. "Obviously, we all want 6-1 corners. We all want Willie Brown from the old days. Sometimes, it's harder to find. But he makes plays on the football, which is important. He's got great awareness and he's got balance. He's got the skills to play inside or out, and he's done both."

McFadden, the son of former Major League Baseball player Leon McFadden Sr., enrolled at San Diego State as a receiver but switched to defensive back and excelled right away.

"Words can't explain how excited I am to be a part of the Cleveland Browns organization," he said. "I'm looking forward to working my butt off on the field and helping the team get wins."

McFadden was caught off guard by the Browns calling his name.

"I didn't really speak to the Cleveland Browns," he said. "This was a big surprise to me. I didn't talk to them much, probably some basic questionnaires. Other than that, I didn't know their interest in me at all."

McFadden, who runs a 4.5 in the 40, believes his ball skills and man-to-man coverage are his biggest assets. He also registered 188 tackles in his career.

"I became a lot more aggressive in the last couple years," he said. "My IQ for football, studying my opponent, is really big for me. The main thing I would like to work on is my press man and polishing up my technique and keeping my eye discipline."

McFadden said his technique makes up for his size and that he's eager to play with Haden.

"Joe Haden is a great corner," he said. "I've seen some clips of him back when he was at Florida and a couple plays in the NFL. He's a competitor and about the same size. I think I can add to that as a DB. You want to win every battle. It will be a good addition."

As for whether he'll start right away, he said: "I believe I'm going to be a competitor in the NFL. I'm going to try to better myself every time I hit the field. My career in the NFL, I'm going to work hard and have a successful one."

The Browns are counting on it.

3-5 favorite beats Champagne Tonight (3-2) by 1 1/4 lengths.

NORTHFIELD, OHIO -- Reinsman Dave Palone had to make an early decision with 3-5 favorite Charisma Hanover in the $84,000 Courageous Lady for 3-year-old filly pacers at Northfield Park on Friday night, and it paid off with an impressive victory.

"I wanted to settle in with her, because she's better while following the leaders early in a race," said Palone. "When Ryan Stahl went out there with Miss Madi M, and Champagne Tonight right behind, I didn't want to be too far back. Charisma Hanover is such a strong filly, I figured I'd better have her go after the early lead."

Champagne Tonight, driven by Brett Miller, was the second choice at 3-2. Palone felt he couldn't let the local star have an edge. A winner of six of eight as a 2-year-old, the bay filly was making her season debut for Northfield Park trainer Clair Umholtz after winning $202,316 in her freshman season, primarily in Pennsylvania Sires Stakes action.

Palone had Charisma Hanover in clear control with a quarter-mile clocking of 27.1, and never looked back. Pacing to the half in 56.1, Charisma Hanover cruised to the three-quarter-mile pole in 1:25.1, then charged down the stretch for a 1 1/4-length victory over Champagne Tonight in 1:53 as 20-1 Carols Desire finished third.

Charisma Hanover paid $3.40, 2.40, 2.10; Champagne Tonight returned $3.20, 2.60; and Carols Desire paid $4.40.

It was the second win in as many starts for Charisma Hanover, owned by the Burke Racing Stable of Fredericktown, Pa., and Weaver Bruscemi of Canonsburg, Pa. It pushed her career earnings to $94,902.

It won't be the last time Charisma Hanover and Champagne Tonight knock heads.

"They're both racing in the Pennsylvania Sires Stakes this year," said Palone. "I expect Champagne Tonight will be a lot tougher the next time around, now that she has made her first start."

Charisma Hanover did not have as impressive a 2-year-old season as Champagne Tonight, with three wins in eight starts and $47,152 in earnings, but the filly made good strides while spending the winter in Florida.

"When trainer Ron Burke brought her back from Florida, she was a much more mature 3-year-old," said Palone. "Burke and the owners were very happy with her development."

The Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot recaps day two of the NFL Draft, which saw the Browns draft cornerback Leon McFadden with their third round pick.

The Cleveland Browns had one pick during day two of the NFL Draft. They went with San Diego State cornerback Leon McFadden with their third round pick.

By Scott Branson | National Desk Day 2 of the NFL draft was destined to be a day to remember with big names such as Geno Smith, Manti Te'o and Matt Barkley still up for grabs. But as always, the day's draft selections gave some players and teams a leg up while others seem to be grasping at straws...

Actually, take your pick of any of a handful of quarterbacks still without a home. Ryan Nassib had eyes on the first round, Tyler Wilson figured to be a third-rounder, and then there's Barkley.

Browns make the selection with the 6th pick in the 3rd round.

BEREA, Ohio - The Cleveland Browns selected San Diego State cornerback Leon McFadden tonight with the sixth pick in the third round of NFL Draft 2013. The pick was the 68th overall. McFadden is 5-10 and 190 pounds, and a native of Bellflower, Calif.

The Browns did not have a pick in the second round, because they chose wide receiver Josh Gordon in the 2012 Supplemental Draft.

In Thursday night's first round, the Browns selected outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo from LSU. Also Friday, the traded with the Miami Dolphins to acquire veteran receiver Davone Bess.

In a conference call tonight with reporters, McFadden said he was excited to be taken by the Browns.

"Words can’t explain how excited I am to be a part of the Cleveland Browns organization," McFadden said. "I’m looking forward to working my butt off on the field and helping the team get wins.

"This was a big surprise to me. I didn’t talk to them much, probably some basic questionnaires. Other than that I didn’t know their interest in me at all."

McFadden was asked what he thinks his strengths and weaknesses are.

"I believe my ball skills are very good, my man-to-man coverage," McFadden said. "I became a lot more aggressive in the last couple years. My IQ for football, studying my opponent is really big for me. The main thing I would like to work on is my press man (coverage) and polishing up my technique and keeping my eye discipline."

When asked about being only 5-10 and going up against taller receivers, McFadden said he doesn't think that will be an issue.

The San Diego State program has a Browns connection, as former All-Pro quarterback Brian Sipe is the quarterbacks coach for the Aztecs. McFadden said the link was not lost on him.

"I just thought about that when I got the phone call, the first guy who came to my mind was Brian Sipe, him being part of the organization," McFadden said.

SDSU's coach early in McFadden's career was Brady Hoke, who is now at Michigan. Hoke and his staff had McFadden move to defensive back from wide receiver when he arrived on campus.

"At first I was kind of bitter about it," he said of the move. "When I went to school I wanted to play receiver, I wanted to score touchdowns. My coach Brady Hoke at the time gave me a three-day tryout at corner.

"Ever since I went there, I never looked back, and I believe it was the best decision I ever could have made. I don’t regret it at all."

McFadden said his father, Leon Sr., has been a huge influence on his career. Leon Sr. played nine seasons of professional baseball as a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, including 62 games over three seasons with the Houston Astros from 1968-70.

"He always pushed me to my fullest potential and he supported everything I did," Leon Jr. said. "He was hard on me to an extent. He wants what every father wants: Play your best and play hard and always give your all in any challenge, anything you’re doing."

Here is a scouting report on McFadden from The Associated Press:

A three-time all-Mountain West Conference first-team selection, McFadden was considered one of the best cornerbacks in the western half of the country last year as he helped San Diego State claim a share of the league title. McFadden had 40 passes defended over his three years as a starter for the Aztecs and totaled eight interceptions for his career, running back two of his three as a senior for touchdowns. While slightly undersized height-wise, McFadden is extremely good at man-to-man coverage and is very fluid in his movements, allowing him to competently cover his half of the field. McFadden has very good hands in terms of catching and also fighting receivers for 50-50 balls, but also shows a great deal of physicality with a receiver in close space. The one area in which he needs improvement is supporting run defense - McFadden hasn't shown an ability to get away from a pulling lineman and sometimes opts for a cut tackle as opposed to wrapping and tackling. Additionally, he will need to better his jam skills at the line of scrimmage. McFadden participated in Senior Bowl workouts but did not play due to a groin injury and did not put up any eye-popping metrics at the NFL combine. His 40-yard dash time was 4.54 seconds and his best finish in any individual portion was seventh in the three-cone drill at 6.81 seconds. While McFadden had limited duties as a punt returner his final two seasons with the Aztecs, he is more suited to gunner duty as he settles into his NFL responsibilities. The numbers, however, don't show McFadden's refined techniques that make him one of the top cornerbacks available in this draft. He likely will be a third- or fourth-round selection who can make an immediate contribution in a nickel package and special teams.

Browns drafted five players, twice traded mid-round picks for mid-round picks in 2014, and exchanged picks to acquire a veteran wide receiver.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns made eight moves in the 2013 NFL draft.

They drafted five players, twice traded mid-round picks for mid-round picks in 2014, and exchanged picks to acquire a veteran wide receiver.

In Thursday's first round, the Browns used the sixth overall pick to select LSU outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo.

Friday, the Browns took San Diego State cornerback Leon McFadden in the third round, with pick No. 68.

Also Friday, Cleveland made a trade with the Miami Dolphins to acquire veteran receiver Davone Bess. The deal involved four picks in this draft, with the Browns giving the Dolphins the 104th (fourth round) and 164th (fifth) selections, and getting Nos. 111 (fourth) and 217 (seventh) from Miami.

The Browns wrapped things up on Saturday, beginning with separate deals involving only draft picks. They traded one of the picks from Miami (fourth round, No. 111) to Pittsburgh for a third-rounder in the 2014 draft, and this year's fifth-rounder (139) to Indianapolis for a 2014 fourth-rounder.

The Cleveland Indians lost to the Royals on Saturday night, but left-hander Scott Kazmir pitched five strong innings to offer hope for a battered rotation.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Left-hander Scott Kazmir has made two starts for the Indians, both coming on this three-city, water-logged trip to Houston, Chicago and Kansas City.

The first did nothing to ease concerns about the state of the starting rotation, even though it came in a 19-6 victory against the Astros. The second came Saturday night at Kauffman Stadium in a 3-2 loss to the Royals, but in defeat, there was hope.

Kazmir allowed two runs on five hits in five innings in his second big-league start in more than two years. He made one mistake, and catcher Salvador Perez turned it into a two-run homer in the second inning. Outside of that, Kazmir did a good job against a Royals team that is leading the American League Central.

Boxscore | Scoreboard | Standings

Make no mistake, there is still angst about the rotation in the managerial office of Terry Francona and the executive offices at Progressive Field. How could there not be, with Ubaldo Jimenez taking a regular turn and relatively untested Corey Kluber scheduled to make his first start of the season Sunday in the second game of the first-ever day-night doubleheader at Kauffman Stadium?

Justin Masterson has been the rock of the rotation. Zach McAllister has been OK. If Kazmir can give the Indians a competitive third starter -- forgetting for a moment that Brett Myers and his 10 homers allowed in 211/3 innings is lurking on the disabled list -- perhaps the Indians can make this an exciting summer.

Of course, a couple of things have to happen for that to be a possibility. No.1, it has to stop raining. No. 2, the Indians have to find a way to consistently score more than two or three runs a game.

Kazmir (0-1, 8.64 ERA) struck out four and walked two. He threw 67 percent (66-for-99) of his pitches for strikes. The MLB average is 63 percent.

In his start against Houston, he threw only 55 percent (49-for-89) of his pitches for strikes, and by his own admission threw way too many breaking balls. Saturday, he lived off his fastball, throwing steadily between 92 mph and 93 mph.

"He threw a lot of strikes, and when he started throwing the ball in effectively, that's when he really got good," Francona said. "He got after it with his fastball. That was really good to see."

Kazmir couldn't believe the right-handed hitting Perez turned his 0-1 pitch into a homer.

"That would have probably been behind a left-handed batter if he was in the box," Kazmir said. "I've never seen anyone connect with a pitch like that so far out of the strike zone. But he did, and he didn't miss it."

Unlike his start against the Astros, Kazmir didn't have to wait an eternity between innings, as happened in Houston when the Indians scored eight runs in the first and six in the second. Ervin Santana made sure his stay in the dugout was brief, as he pitched seven scoreless innings without a walk and five strikeouts. Santana did allow six hits -- but only once did more than one occur in the same inning.

After Perez's two-run homer, the Indians loaded the bases in the third. Drew Stubbs hit a leadoff single. Jason Kipnis followed with a one-out infield single and Asdrubal Cabrera singled to right.

The air came out of the inning quickly, as Nick Swisher hit into a 4-6-3 double play. Santana (3-1, 2.00) is 3-8 lifetime against the Indians, but 10 of his past 12 starts against them have been of the quality variety -- three earned runs allowed in six or more innings.

"We had our pitches to hit, but we just didn't do it," said Mark Reynolds. "A lot of guys were frustrated in the dugout."

The Royals made it 3-0 in the seventh, when Rich Hill walked Eric Hosmer with the bases loaded to force home a run. It ended the bullpen's streak of 20 consecutive scoreless innings.

Michael Brantley gave the Tribe a chance with a two-run triple in the ninth with two outs off closer Greg Holland. But with Brantley on third, Holland struck out Kipnis for his sixth save.

Holland's strike-three pitch got away from Perez, but Kipnis didn't run to first. He stood at the plate and let Perez tag him out.

"I don't think he even knew," Francona said. " 'Kip' is such a hardnosed kid that if he saw it, he would have taken off. I think he was frustrated with his swing and didn't even realize it. When he did, it was too late."

Said Kipnis in a Tweet, "I pride myself on playing the game hard and the right way.. And in that last at-bat I didn't do it.. Already apologized to Tito and the gang."

Watch highlights as the Cleveland Browns recap their selections and trades in 2013 NFL Draft with the media gathered in Berea.

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns CEO Joe Banner talked about their selections and trades in the 2013 NFL Draft during a news conference at their facility in Berea.

The Browns selections were:
Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB from LSU - Round 1
Leon McFadden, CB from San Diego State - Round 3
Jamoris Slaughter, S from Norte Dame - Round 6
Armonty Bryant, DE from East Central (OK) - Round 7
Garrett Gilkey, OT from Chardon State - Round 7

The Browns traded their fourth round pick to the Steelers for their third round next year and their fifth round pick to the Colts for their fourth round selection in 2014.

The Browns also aquired WR Davone Bess from the Miami Dolphins for a swap of draft picks this year.

The Cleveland Browns believe they got good value by selecting Jamoris Slaughter in the sixth round on Saturday, saying their medical staff said he was recovering well from his injury.

BEREA, Ohio -- The good news is the Browns drafted the kind of versatile free safety on Saturday that defensive coordinator Ray Horton can line up in many spots on the field.

The bad news is he's rehabbing an Achilles tear and it's unclear when he will be lining up or whether he can regain his previous form.

The Browns selected Notre Dame's Jamoris Slaughter in the sixth round of the NFL Draft with the No. 175 overall pick. The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder admitted in a conference call he was surprised to be drafted due to the injury, but believes he will be ready for training camp.

"We feel like we got a player who has a chance to be a contributor much more than you normally would get in the sixth round," Browns CEO Joe Banner said. "Our medical staff was very optimistic about the medical part of it. We thought this would be a good value."

Slaughter tore his left Achilles tendon in the third game of last season against Michigan State. The fifth-year senior unsuccessfully lobbied the NCAA to grant him one more season of eligibility.

In the immediate days after the injury the graduate student, who's taking business courses, feared his career was in jeopardy. Seven months later, Slaughter wants to compete for a starting job.

"I'm about 90 percent now," he said. "I'm able to do sprinting and cutting and I've been doing back drills. Pretty much everything, position drills. So it's all coming back in line. The main thing for me now is getting my power and explosion back."

But the Browns head to camp with little NFL experience at the free-safety position. Tashaun Gipson, an undrafted free agent a season ago, and Eric Hagg have a combined seven NFL starts. It's believed the organization, which waived Usama Young earlier this month, liked the late-season progress they witnessed in Gipson.

"From what we've been able to see (we're) very positive on Tayshaun with his work ethic and how he's approached things out on the field," coach Rob Chudzinski said. "He has some good instincts as a player and solid skills. Again, a younger guy and we'll see once we get into pads and get into real football how he looks."

Slaughter made 13 starts over the past two seasons for the Irish. Brian Kelly used him at safety, cornerback and -- when opponents ran the option -- outside linebacker. Horton, who's installing a multi-front defense, loves to line up players at different spots.

"We saw a player who was extremely productive and very versatile, who had played on the slot and was able to cover people man to man and also blitzed and played back deep," Chudzinski said. "He was able to do a number of different things and we really like the player . . ."

Since he began playing youth football, the ability to deliver a jolt has been part of his game.

"I was known as being the skinny kid who could hit," Slaughter said. "I think I just have a laid back, cool, collective side to me. But on the field, it's kind of like I can be my alter ego and be another person and I just kind of feel like a warrior out on the field. I kind of play like that."

Some athletes never fully recover from Achilles tears, but Slaughter doesn't plan on being one of them. While he has a degree in a industrial design, the defensive back is in no rush to use it.

"I think by the time training camp starts, I will be in the competition [to start]," he said. "I just have a competitive mind and I always want to be first."

AMHERST, Ohio -- Bathroom and concession stand lines tend to grow during the distance medley and 4x1,600-meter relays at big weekend track meets. Those are the longest events – some might say most boring -- of the day. Because they are not contested at the state meet, they're unfamiliar to most fans.

AMHERST, Ohio -- Bathroom and concession stand lines tend to grow during the distance medley and 4x1,600-meter relays at big weekend track meets.

Those are the longest events – some might say most boring -- of the day. Because they are not contested at the state meet, they're unfamiliar to most fans.

But those who excused themselves during the Amherst Comet Relays missed the meet's most dramatic moments Saturday on the Richard Cooley Track.

Twinsburg smashed a 40-year-old meet and track record in the boys distance medley, and its winning time of 10:27.01 sliced seven seconds off the old mark. That ranks among the best times in the nation this year and qualifies the quartet of Nick Schank, Tommy King, Ryan Scanlon and Garrett Crichlow to run at the New Balance Nationals in June.

Twinsburg also won the 4x1,600, but was not part of the drama. St. Ignatius learned it was disqualified after crossing the finish first in 17:44.94 – what would have been the best time in Ohio this year and among the top times nationally. A member of the relay ran alongside his teammate in the infield of the backstretch, which is called pacing, and that is a rule violation.

The DQ didn't keep St. Ignatius from dominating the boys meet with 73 points. Medina won a tight race for second with 56 points, one ahead of Mentor and two ahead of Brunswick.

Amherst's girls rolled to their first Comet Relays title in 33 years, winning five events and scoring 100 points. Brunswick (68 points) was second, followed by Mentor (64) and Medina (63).

Twinsburg was gunning for the national qualifying mark (10:30) in the distance medley, an event it ran one other time this season in a school-record 10:44. Schank opened with a 3:15 leg for 1,200 meters. King ran the 400 in 54 seconds and Scanlon turned a 1:57.5 split in the 800, giving the baton to Crichlow with about a two-second lead.

Crichlow crushed the 1,600 anchor leg in 4:18.

"Yeah!" he yelled, pumping his fist toward the ground as he crossed the line 22 seconds ahead of Mentor.

"It was amazing," Crichlow said.

So was Crichlow. He also anchored the 4x1,600 in 4:12, which is two seconds better than his best time in the open 1,600, and the Tigers broke their school record by 15 seconds in 18:06. Scanlon, Schank and Josh Gogan were his teammates.

"They were really focused between the 4x1,600 and the DMR," Twinsburg distance coach Sarah Kmet said. "The competition was really good. Mentor and St. Ignatius pushed us. With the (good) conditions on a day like today, there was nothing holding you back."

Despite the disqualification, St. Ignatius found a rising star in freshman Luke Wagner, who started off the 4x1,600 in 4:20 and ran the open 1,600 in 4:24, finishing second and two seconds behind winner Dan Zupan of Berea.

"That kid is a monster," Zupan said of Wagner.

The Wildcats were missing three top performers, including two sprinters with excused absences, but won the shuttle hurdles (1:02.06) and 4x100 (43.9). Senior Pat Jeffries ran on both relays and was third in the 300 hurdles.

"Their handoffs in the [4x100] were right on," said St. Ignatius coach Chuck Kyle, whose Wildcats also won a team title last Saturday at Gilmour when it was 35 degrees colder. "Kids were feeling a little better today, saying, 'OK, now it's track season.' "

Amherst's girls were led by Sher Champe and Sara Moore. Champe ran on the winning distance medley and sprint medley relays, the runner-up 4x100 and the fourth-place 4x400. Sara Moore won the 300 hurdles, placed second in the 100 hurdles, ran on the winning shuttle hurdle relay and was on the runner-up long jump relay. Erin Kasper and Amber Slavik ran on the shuttle hurdles and were on the winning high jump relay, and Kasper was a member of the long jump relay.

Amherst's Cassie Vince, a first-year track athlete as a senior, was second in the 3,200 and anchored the winning distance medley. The distance medley also featured Alexis Szivan, who was fourth in the 1,600.

Moore ran a strong curve in the 300 hurdles.

"I think I'm better at the curve," Moore said. "I like the hurdles. It's interesting. If I were to do a straight 100 with no hurdles, I'd get bored. I need to be entertained."

The Cleveland Browns drafted defensive end Armonty Bryant from East Central (Okla.) and offensive lineman Garrett Gilkey from Chadron State (Neb.).

BEREA, Ohio -- Two big players from two tiny schools, two diamonds in the rough. The Browns selected a couple of them in the seventh round of the NFL Draft on Saturday, first picking defensive end Armonty Bryant at No. 217 and then nabbing offensive tackle Garrett Gilkey at 227.

Bryant attended East Central University, a little Division II school in Oklahoma. It was the place the Texas native landed after a failed attempt at Abilene Christian because of academics, and a year at Cisco Junior College.

Gilkey spent his four years at Chadron State, an even smaller Division II school in Nebraska. It was the school he fell in love with after his Aurora Christian High School coach Don Beebe recommended his alma mater to the late bloomer. (Beebe is a former NFL wide receiver who played in six Super Bowls.)

Both have their questions and both have their strengths. The Browns chose to focus on the positives in both cases.

At 6-4, 263 pounds, Bryant has the physical skills of a defender who can dominate. In his senior season at East Central, he recorded 10.5 sacks, 54 tackles, four forced fumbles and two blocked kicks.

He did that even after surgery to repair a torn labrum after his junior season.

And all that came in just eight games because Bryant was suspended after he was arrested and charged with selling marijuana to an undercover police officer in October 2012.

"Good people make mistakes," Bryant said. "I've always been told that. I feel like it was just a stupid move on my part. I should have been more mature about the situation and been more focused on football and what I wanted to do with my life. Now that I've got that second chance, I feel like I won't let anyone down, I won't let the people around me down, I won't let the Cleveland Browns down and I appreciate them for taking a chance on me."

Bryant said he had extensive discussions with Browns personnel about his arrest.

"As soon as we got past that, I think they got a little sense of what type of person I actually am," Bryant said.

Gilkey, meanwhile, is a solid 6-5, 314 pounds who destroyed competition in the minuscule Rocky Mountain Conference. But that was the problem -- Gilkey's performance came at the small Nebraska school where he rarely faced top-level competition.

"There's been a knock on me for a long time because of my competition level," Gilkey said. "But I have a chip on my shoulder and I'm excited to play for the Browns."

Gilkey overcame an operation for a heart condition before his freshman year in high school, appendicitis in his junior season at Chadron State and said he feels a bond with Browns Pro Bowl offensive lineman Joe Thomas for their similar concerns about arm length.

"I know that a lot of people have knocked on me about my arm length as well," said Gilkey, whose arms measured 325/8 inches at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Despite the questions, both seventh-rounders proclaim there's little reason to doubt them, now.

"I bring to the table just a relentless attitude," Bryant said. "I want to get to the quarterback, I want to make a big play. I feel like I'm that guy you can really count on. I want to be that person who when you're in a hard situation . . . I feel like I can be that guy who come out there and delivers."

Said Gilkey: "I'm very excited about it. It allows me to really reach the potential I want to reach."

The Browns are expected to sign Utah defensive tackle Dave Kruger, brother of outside linebacker Paul Kruger. Watch video

The Browns agreed to terms with 17 undrafted free agents Saturday, team CEO Joe Banner said.

The club, however, did not release the players' names because they have yet to sign. According to several reports, one name has a strong link to the club.

The Browns are expected to sign Utah defensive tackle Dave Kruger -- brother of outside linebacker Paul Kruger -- according to NFLDraftBible.com.

Dave Kruger (6-5, 300 pounds) averaged 2.73 tackles per game for the Utes last season. The other Kruger brother, Joe, another defensive lineman from Utah, was drafted in the seventh round by Philadelphia.

"I can't wait," Paul Kruger told the Deseret News this week. "I just hope I get one of them in Cleveland."

The Browns also will sign Stephen F. Austin defensive back Josh Aubrey and Youngstown State running back Jamaine Cook, according to NFLDraftBible.com.

Familiar voice: Browns third-round draft pick Leon McFadden said he received a congratulatory voicemail from San Diego State assistant coach and former Cleveland quarterback Brian Sipe.

"He was really pumped up," said McFadden, who flew to Cleveland on Saturday. "He's very happy for me."

McFadden has spoken to Sipe about Cleveland. He doesn't doubt his coach put in a good word with the Browns. The corner doesn't know much about the franchise history, but he was aware Sipe won the league MVP award in 1980.

Cornerback was arguably the most pressing need in the draft and McFadden expects to compete for a starting job opposite Joe Haden. He said he has played almost exclusively as a left cornerback, a slight contradiction to what he mentioned during a conference call Friday night when he spoke of playing on the "inside and outside."

Taking a pass: It was deep draft for tight ends, but the Browns opted not to select one. That means Jordan Cameron likely will arrive at training camp as the club's top player at the position.

The converted basketball player is heading into his third season and first without Ben Watson and Alex Smith ahead of him on the depth chart. Cameron caught 20 passes for 226 yards and a touchdown a season ago.

Edwards to Jets: Glenville High School graduate Mike Edwards (Hawaii) will join the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent. Edwards, a cornerback, began his college career at Tennessee as a four-star recruit. He was dismissed from the team during this second season after he was charged with attempted robbery.

He spent the 2010 season at Coffeyville Community College (Kan.) before transferring to Hawaii. Edwards had three interceptions, 26 pass breakups and returned three kickoffs for touchdowns last season. During his junior year, he led the nation in total kickoff return yards (1,215).

Double-sport threat: Garrett Gilkey, the Browns' pick at No. 227, said he has a line in his biography that he's especially proud of. It reads something like, "An All-American at Division II Chadron State, but most notably known for his 16 minutes of playing time with Chadron State College's basketball team and committing eight fouls."

Gilkey joined his college basketball team midway through the 2010 season, he said, when team suspensions left the squad low on players. He played nine games, scoring four points and grabbing four rebounds.

"They wanted to bring in a big guy who had character, who would work hard and contribute to the team," Gilkey said of his basketball stint. "So they decided to bring me on halfway through the season to be a team player, contribute to the team and practice hard and work hard. . . . I actually scored four points, which was really cool."

Signings: Three Mount Union players have signed free-agent deals. Wide receiver Jasper Collins signed with Miami, linebacker Charles Dieuseul signed with the New York Giants and wide receiver Chris Denton signed with Tampa Bay. . . . Former Padua and Toledo linebacker Dan Molls reportedly signed a deal with San Diego.

Owner takes part: Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, whose Pilot Flying J company is the target of a federal probe, spent all three days in the team's war room in Berea.

"He's actively involved in his way which I think I've described," Banner said. "He holds everybody to a high standard, he asks a lot of very good, very smart questions, good things to make sure we think through. He's a very positive energy and force to have around. I think it makes everybody feel like we have his support. When you've been around him, he just uplifts the energy around. He's just a very positive, happy guy."

Brownies: Newly acquired receiver Davone Bess was in Cleveland on Saturday, passed his physical and signed a three-year extension that will push his contract to 2016. He was not available to speak to media, however.
