Due to a lengthy rain delay, Saturday’s game between the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals was postponed. The tarp remained on the field throughout, leading to the decision after a 2 hour, 8 minute delay. The forecast predicted steady rain for the rest of the night. The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Sunday afternoon, with a start time set for 1:30 p.m. The Red Sox had already won the series opener with a 13-9 victory in their home opener on Friday, where they honored members of their 1975 AL championship team.
In other news, the Red Sox held a press conference four hours before the scheduled start where rookie Kristian Campbell was announced to have agreed to a $60 million, 8-year contract earlier in the week. Fans had to battle the cold, wet weather while waiting for the delayed start of the game. Sean Newcomb is expected to start the 1:30 game for the Red Sox, while the pitcher for Game 2 is yet to be announced.
