Indians set for Boston tonight after rainout



Sunday's final game of the Orioles series was washed out.
CLEVELAND (AP) -- The finale of a three-game series between the Baltimore Orioles and Cleveland Indians was postponed by rain Sunday. No makeup date was scheduled.
"We wanted to play," Indians manager Eric Wedge said, adding that scheduled starter Jake Westbrook will be moved back one day, but other rotation spots for an upcoming series against Boston were uncertain.
Orioles manager Lee Mazzilli said he would talk with pitching coach Mark Wiley to determine how they will deal with their rotation.
"We've been roughed up by the weather," said Mazzilli, whose team has already had three other games rescheduled.
"We've got two day-nighters and two on what were off days. Day-nighters are tough and you like to have those days off."
Could play June 14
The clubs could possibly play June 14, which is a day off for both. The Orioles will be coming off a nine-game homestand and heading to Los Angeles to start an interleague series the next night. The Indians will be coming off six-game homestand before going to New York for an interleague series against the Mets on June 15.
Westbrook will open a four-game series against Boston at Jacobs Field tonight, when they will face Curt Schilling.
"After that, were going to finagle something," Wedge said.
Bullpens get rest
The rain gave each team's bullpen a break. Baltimore used four pitchers and Cleveland six during the Indians' 3-2 win in 13 innings on Saturday.
Baltimore catcher Javy Lopez, who had missed two games with a pulled muscle in his right side, was not in the lineup Sunday.
Mazzilli is hopeful that Lopez, batting .358 with three homers and 14 RBIs, could play tonight when the Orioles open a three-game home series against the Chicago White Sox.
