On what was supposed to be a rest day, the Indians and Blue Jays split an interminable doubleheader, scheduled to replace two games postponed by weather in April. In the first game, which was originally scheduled to take place on Jackie Robinson Day, the two teams wear uniform number 42 and Toronto wins a wild contest, 13 – 11, thanks to a 11th-inning grand slam by Yangervis Solarte, who has a five-hit game. That game starts after a two-hour rain delay, then Cleveland wins the nitecap, 13 – 4, thanks to a nine-run 5th inning. The win is the 1,500th of Terry Francona’s managerial career.
