How is this a draw?

Opponents timer ran out and it gave me a draw? It was a rated game.

If one has no material to win, and the opponent with material has no time, that ends in draw. - You have no means of a checkmate if you have no material.

 

And if you had the rook/bishop, AND time left, then that's just lame.

I see now, thanks for pointing that out. New to chess as you can see from my rating.
