CLEVELAND -- During a two-hour, 10-minute rain delay Tuesday night at Progressive Field, the only thing the Indians could do was wait while the storm loomed over the shores of Lake Erie.
Tribe hitters were forced to wait even longer than the 9:20 p.m. ET start time for a chance at any offensive breakthrough against Twins starting pitcher Adalberto Mejia. Said chance never surfaced, as the left-hander dominated Cleveland's bats across five shutout innings, surrendering a hit and allowing three baserunners to help lead the Twins (53-59) to a 3-2 win against the American League Central-leading Indians (62-50).
