CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- The Cleveland Indians and Toronto Blue
Jays will play a doubleheader Monday after the third game of
their four-game series was rained out Sunday afternoon.
The Indians have won the first two contests of the series,
including a 12-0 triumph on Saturday.
Fausto Carmona (3-1) will start the first game for Cleveland
against A.J. Burnett (3-3), while Cliff Lee (6-0) will look to
continue his amazing start to the season against Shaun Marcum
(4-2) in the nightcap.
The first game is scheduled to start at 4:05 EDT, and the second
game will begin approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion
of the opener.
It will be the first traditional doubleheader in Cleveland since
August 13, 1997, which may cause the Indians to reshuffle their
rotation later in the week.
"It's something we're talking about right now," Indians manager
Eric Wedge said. "It's something we are going to have to line
up in the next five days."
The day off may be more beneficial for the Blue Jays, who have
dropped three straight games and placed one of their best
hitters on the disabled list Saturday.
Vernon Wells was put on the 15-day DL with a broken left wrist
he suffered in the series-opening setback on Friday.
Righthander Jeremy Accardo was also placed on the DL with
tightness in his right forearm.
"Nothing has changed," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "We
have the same pitchers going. We're in the same situation
tomorrow. We're going to come to the ballpark and try to win a
game."
After the doubleheader, Toronto travels to Minnesota for a
three-game series on Tuesday, while Cleveland stays home and
opens up a three-game set with Oakland.
