Time Runs Out for Twins and Indians

The Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Indians were tied at 5-5 after 11 innings Saturday when the game was suspended because the Metrodome field needed to be changed over for the later Penn State-Minnesota football game.

The Twins and Indians will resume this morning at 10 CDT, followed by the regularly scheduled season finale between the two teams.

Because of the football game, no inning could start after 2:30 p.m., and the 11th inning ended at 2:33. Penn State and Minnesota were scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

The Central Division-champion Twins can still start the playoffs at home if they beat the Indians twice today and Oakland beats the Angels.

Toronto 4, New York 2 -- Roy Halladay (8-8) pitched eight strong innings to help the Blue Jays beat the Yankees at Toronto. New York starter Kevin Brown held Toronto to one hit through five innings.

Boston 7-7, Baltimore 5-5 -- Doug Mientkiewicz hit a tiebreaking two-run triple in the seventh inning, and the Red Sox completed a sweep at Baltimore.
