Indians manager Terry Francona leaves Tuesday night's game with illness

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Indians manager Terry Francona left Tuesday night's game against the Dodgers in the late innings because he wasn't feeling well.

Reporters were told of Francona's illness while they waited to hear from him following the Indians' 7-5 loss. Bench coach Brad Mills fdid the postgame interview in place of Francona, but he said little about why Francona left the game.

"I really don't know anything," said Mills.

Bart Swain, Indians director of media relations, told reporters that Francona, 58, left the game with an illness, but gave no further details.

Last year Francona missed a game on Aug.
