Jose ValverdeHighlights from the day that was ...

A scheduling mistake by the lake. An entire series was wiped out due to snow, and another one was threatened by rain, so what did the Indians do? Pack their bags and head to Milwaukee for three "home" games against the Angels.

Now this is baseball weather! The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, enjoyed the usual 82 degrees while playing their home opener against the Reds. On the heels of Jose Valverde's fourth save, they stretched their winning streak to five while becoming the first team in the big leagues with six wins -- though fans in Cleveland are probably confused why they couldn't sell out the park.

One of a kind. Alex Rodriguez smacked his fifth dinger in six games into the baggy wall at the Metrodome on Monday. The next time someone says he's no Babe Ruth, or Lou Gehrig, or Mickey Mantle, just nod and agree.

When two hits is too many. Matt Cain's no-hit bid ended in the seventh... as did his chance for the win. The Giants couldn't scratch out a single run against the Padres, though perhaps they could have tried a bit harder.
