Sunday Game Thread: T.J. House and the Indians go for the sweep.

It's time to finish up the suspended game from August 31st. The Indians are ahead 4-2 heading into the bottom of the 10th inning. Kyle Crockett is the pitcher on the mound for the Indians, but he doesn't have to face any batters, due to MLB rules about suspended games. T.J House, Bryan Shaw, and Cody Allen all already pitched in the game, so they're unavailable for the conclusion of this one.

Series Preview

On paper this looks like a Tribe loss, but then again, I would have said the same thing when the Royals tied the game in the eighth inning with just Cody Allen and Josh Tomlin left in the bullpen.

Speaking of Tomlin, he's been placed on the Paternity list (congrats to the Tomlins!) and Zach McAllister has been called up from Columbus to serve as the longman in tonight's game. More pitching reinforcements will start to trickle in beginning tomorrow.
