Rain caused the Cleveland Indians to sit around and do nothing for three hours yesterday, and it affected their farm teams as well. The Columbus Clippers and Lynchburg Hillcats both played in rain-shortened contests yesterday, with the latter's game lasting just five innings before being called.
In those five innings, though, Julian Merryweather made a dominant return to the Hillcats lineup with a four-inning dazzler and his sixth (!!) shutout of the season at High-A.
Meanwhile, in Double-A, the Akron RubberDucks were embarrassed over the course of two games in their doubleheader, including total domination by an old Indians friend.
