    A long night at the ballpark left the Cleveland Indians weary and drenched.

    A solution, however, was easy to find.

    "Everybody's tired," joked Indians manager Terry Francona. "It's amazing ... show up, have 12 pieces of bacon and a Red Bull and go get 'em."

    While the pregame meal may have played a factor in Saturday's 5-0 win over Tampa Bay, the Indians found other reasons that led to their success. Ubaldo Jimenez pitched eight scoreless innings while Jason Giambi and Asdrubal Cabrera hit two-run homers in the game that began about 10 hours following the conclusion of Friday night's contest that ended at 2:53 a.m. on Saturday after nearly five hours of rain delays.
