MLB experienced a rain fiasco in the Yankees' win against the Indians in Game 2 of their wild-card round series Wednesday evening. The game was delayed before it started due to rain being in the forecast, but then it was clear at the originally scheduled first pitch. Once action started, rain then arrived in the bottom of the first, forcing a delay. Two rain delays in the game totaled more than an hour.
