Yankees-Indians game postponed by rain


CLEVELAND — The scheduled game between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians has been postponed by rain.

No makeup date was immediately announced. The teams are scheduled to finish their series with a single game Thursday night, but with a forecast for more showers it might be tough to get that one in. This is New York's only visit to Cleveland this season.

Zach McAllister is slated to start Thursday for the Indians against Ivan Nova.

Play never began Wednesday and the game was called 46 minutes after the scheduled first pitch.

The rainout comes at a good time for the Indians, who have been forced to juggle their rotation because of injuries and Carlos Carrasco's ejection for hitting Kevin Youkilis with a pitch Tuesday. Corey Kluber, who had been called up to make an emergency start, will pitch out of the bullpen Thursday.

Thursday Night

JOE: We usually get Chicago's weather the next day. Has it stopped raining there? I know the Cubs game was postponed.

It's been drizzling all day JR, except for this morning when we got a hail storm and about an inch of rain. We have rain in the forecast everyday until a week from this Friday. We just opened up the trailer this weekend. I hope we don't have to move it this early in the season. We have snow mixed with rain predicted for this Thursday and Friday. I'm supposed to get a new chimney box installed. They won't do it if it rains or snows.

Another rain delay. They could have played this afternoon, b/c it was overcast but dry. Now the forecast call for rain until midnight.

We can schedule the Yankees to drop in to Cleveland when they're on the train west.

Yeah, the station at Tower City is within easy walking distance of the ballpark!

First pitch scheduled for 8:30p

May 13 is a mutual day off for these two teams.

Also 8/26, 9/23, 9/30 (all Mondays)
