Cleveland weather update before Game 2

CLEVELAND — Two hours before the scheduled first pitch of Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday, Major League Baseball officials expressed cautious optimism it would start on time and be played to its completion, despite a drizzly forecast for the rest of the evening.

Weather conditions, however, can change quickly, cautioned MLB senior vice president of baseball operations Peter Woodfork.
