Meteorologist Kevin Roth was pretty confident the game wouldn’t start on time.
Roth wrote on X (5:50 p.m. EDT) : “A couple of games that are not gonna start on time: PHI and NYY. Of the two, I think PHI clears quicker, and is less at risk of a PPD.”
MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch wrote (6:00 p.m. EDT) : “The tarp is being rolled out at Yankee Stadium with thunderstorms on the way.”
