CLEVELAND: Indians fans will have to wait one more day for meaningful baseball in 2016.
The Indians postponed their Opening Day game against the Boston Red Sox until Tuesday at 1:10 p.m. due the cold conditions and expected precipitation. Gates will open at 11 a.m.
The game was originally scheduled to begin at 4:10 p.m. on Monday. Roughly three hours before the season’s first pitch could be made by ace Corey Kluber, the Indians postponed the game.
“[Monday]’s game was postponed due to the forecast changing from no precipitation to having precipitation for most of the afternoon and into [the] early evening,” said Curtis Danburg, Indians senior director of communications in a statement.
