CLEVELAND (AP) The Latest on the World Series (all times Eastern):
12:30 p.m.
Even if one team has a big late-inning lead, there could be a daylong wait to finish Game 2 of the World Series if rain hits Progressive Field.
While regular-season games can be shortened because of a bad weather as long as the losing team has completed at least five innings, a rules change approved in 2009 mandates that all postseason games and regular-season tiebreakers must be played to conclusion at the ballpark where they began.
Thursday is a scheduled off day before the Series is set to resume at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, which last hosted the Series in 1945.

The Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians are hoping to beat the rain forecast for Wednesday and get in Game 2 of the World Series.
It was overcast and dry at noontime following the Indians’ 6-0 victory in the opener, but wet weather was forecast for the evening.
Major League Baseball moved up the start of the game by an hour to 7:08 p.m., when Accuweather forecast a 48-degree temperature, a little rain and winds of 10-20 mph. Accuweather said that if rain tracks to the north, there will be a spot shower or two during the game, but if rain remains over the area, it could be steady and cause delays.
Meteorologist Ryan Adamson says in a statement: ”Game 2 of the World Series looks rather dry to start, but possibly wet to finish, depending on how long the game goes.”
