CLEVELAND — Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon was making a move on the mound during the World Series opener when first baseman Anthony Rizzo pointed out another change.
The start time for Game 2 in Cleveland had been moved up by an hour because there’s rain in the forecast. The Cubs and Indians are now scheduled to begin at 7:08 p.m. EST Wednesday.
Major League Baseball announced the time shift Tuesday night midway through the Indians’ 6-0 win at Progressive Field.
“Rizzo said, ‘Hey, look at the scoreboard, the game’s been moved up an hour.” So that’s when I realized it had been moved up an hour, on the mound,” Maddon said.
