Indians-Red Sox Game 3 rained out

BOSTON -- Sunday's Game 3 of the American League Division Series between the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox was rained out due to an all-day rain.

The Indians, up 2-0 in the best-of-five series, look to clinch a spot in the AL Championship Series in Game 3, now scheduled for Monday at 6:08 p.m. ET.

Game 4, if necessary, will be played Tuesday at Fenway Park, the postponement eliminating the travel day between Games 4 and 5.

Indians right-hander Josh Tomlin and Boston righty Clay Buchholz, slated to face each other Sunday, will start Monday.

Rain was falling all morning and into the afternoon, with steady rain forecast until 9 or 10 Sunday night. The game was officially called at around 1:45 p.m.

Soon thereafter, several members of the Red Sox emerged from the dugout to get in some on-field work.

Both Tomlin and Buchholz escaped bullpen exiles to return to their respective rotations late in the season.

Buchholz, actually exiled to the pen on three different occasions, was 3-0 with only one bad start in September. Tomlin had a 1.75 ERA and yielded a .540 OPS in his last 25/3 innings -- after a 7.96 ERA and .937 OPS in his previous 10 starts.
