CLEVELAND – Thanks to Mother Nature, the Cleveland Indians have postponed their 2016 home opener game.

The Indians said the game was postponed “due to the forecast changing from no precipitation to having precipitation most of the afternoon and into early evening. That steady precipitation forecast combined with wind chills dropping into the teens, it was decided by both teams and umpires for fan comfort and player safety to postpone the game.

Tomorrow’s forecast will continue to be cold, but no anticipated precipitation.”

The game against the Boston Red Sox, originally scheduled for Monday, April 4 at 4:10 p.m. will now be played on Tuesday, April 5 at 1:10 p.m. Gates will open at 11 a.m.
