White Sox game delayed by rain and one out left in extra innings originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
The White Sox suffered a rain delay in St. Louis at an extremely inconvenient time.
The game was initially scheduled to resume at 6:30 p.m., then at 7:05 p.m., “weather permitting.” Resumption is now expected to occur at 7:30 p.m., the NBC Sports Chicago broadcast announced.
The umpires asked the field staff to roll out the tarps in the bottom of the tenth inning, as the White Sox were one out away from winning the game. John Brebbia has an 0-1 count on Nolan Gorman with two outs in possibly the last at-bat of the game.
As of this writing, the grounds crew is removing the tarp from the field. There is no timeline yet on when play will resume, as there is still an unplayable amount of water on the mat and field.
The White Sox bullpen has been electric since replacing Erick Fedde. Tim Hill, Steven Wilson, Dominic Leone, Jordan Leasure, Michael Kopech and John Brebbia have combined for 5.2 innings pitched, one hit, two walks and zero runs allowed.
Brebbia, with the bases loaded, struck out Lars Nootbaar and Masyn Winn to put the White Sox in excellent winning position. When the teams return, Brebbia will have a shot at Gorman with a chance to finish the game.
