PRESS RELEASE CLEVELAND — Major League Baseball, Cleveland Indians and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim today announced the three-game series between the Indians and Angels, scheduled to be played at Jacobs Field April 10-12, has been moved to Miller Park in Milwaukee, Wis., due to poor playing conditions, player safety concerns, as well as fan comfort issues….
