CLEVELAND -- It was raining when I landed this morning, and the forecast looked grim, but it's drying up now, so we'll see if the Twins and Indians can open this three-game series tonight.

The last-place Twins sit one game behind Cleveland in the AL Central. The Indians defeated Detroit on Sunday and wound up winning that season series 10-8.

This will be a big road trip for P.J. Walters, who is scheduledto  start tonight and then Sunday in Detroit. Walters is 0-2 with a 12.00 ERA in two starts since returning from his shoulder injury. The Indians counter with lefthander David Huff.
