The Indians were snake-bitten by Miguel Cabrera yet again and fell to the Detroit Tigers 6-3 on Wednesday night in a rain-shortened game that lasted only five innings.
The Indians and Tigers underwent two rain delays before finally succumbing to the weather.
Cabrera again proved why he’s one of the most lethal hitters in baseball over the last decade or so. The Indians and Tigers entered the bottom of the fifth inning tied 3-3. There had already been a 45-minute rain delay and additional rain, lightning and thunder were on the way.
With a tied game, had there been a delay at that time, the two teams would have had to either finish it on Thursday or come back on Monday.
