Elsewhere in the majors:

— Logan Allen recovered from a bumpy first inning to get his first win with Cleveland and the Indians completed a three-game sweep with a 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers played without slugger Miguel Cabrera and he could be out for a while. Allen found his rhythm after hitting a batter on his second pitch and walking two in the first. He hung around and allowed just one run and two hits in five innings. Cabrera was placed on the 10-day injury list before the game with a biceps strain that had been affecting his swing. Wilson Ramos homered for Detroit.

The game began at 1:10 p.m. and was halted by plate umpire D.J. Reyburn after seven minutes. It was suspended after a wait of 2 hours, 10 minutes and will be continued as part of a day-night doubleheader on Aug. 31. Stroman tweeted that the game “should never have been started.” Home teams decide whether to start games.

— Sunday’s game between the Los Angeles Angels and Toronto at the Blue Jays’ temporary home in Florida has been postponed because of rain. The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Aug. 10 at Anaheim, California. The game never started and was called after a two-hour wait.

Reopening of Vancouver facilities delayed

UNDATED (AP) — The NHL says the Vancouver Canucks’ team facilities that were scheduled to open Sunday will remain closed at least until Monday after an additional player entered the league’s COVID-19 protocol.

The league says the player hasn’t been around the team since March 31, but the decision was still made to push back the reopening of the facilities. The league says it doesn’t believe this will endanger Vancouver resuming the season Friday.

The Canucks haven’t played since March 24 after a COVID-19 outbreak caused 21 players and four staff members to test positive. They had 19 roster players on the protocol list Saturrday.

In other NHL news:

He was given a match penalty and thrown out of the game Saturday night after striking Gourde in the head with his left shoulder with 26 seconds to go and the Lightning leading 3-0. McCarron will forfeit $12,069 as part of the suspension.

Lundqvist tweeted Sunday that he had been aiming to join the team before the end of the season but that the inflammation would require him to rest and recover for “a few months.” Lundqvist had open-heart surgery in January. He was back on the ice less than two months later but said in late February he was a long time away from deciding on his future. The Capitals signed Lundqvist in October to have a veteran in net.

New Jersey gets a 23-year-old left shot on the blue line for its rebuilding efforts. Siegenthaler is a restricted free agent after this season.

Schauffele drops 4 shots in 3 holes at Masters

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Hideki Matsuyama (hih-DEH’-kee maht-soo-YAH’-mah) remains comfortably ahead without much pressure from those chasing him. Xander Schauffele (ZAN’-dur SHAWF’-lee) is an example of that.

Schauffele was within three shots of the lead until dropping four shots over the next three holes. His pitch didn’t get up the slope to the third green. He hit into a bunker on No. 4. And then he made a mess of the fifth hole. Schauffele went from the edge of the bushes to the rough to the bunker. It took him two shots to get out of the sand and he made double bogey to fall seven behind.
