After all the hype and anticipation around this week's Guardians and White Sox series at Guaranteed Rate Field, Mother Nature had other plans.
The Sox announced Tuesday's game, originally scheduled for a 7:10 p.m. first pitch, would begin in a delay after heavy rain and wind rolled through the South Side.
The game was delayed 40 minutes before starting at 7:50 p.m.
The White Sox entered the day four games behind the Guardians for first place in the AL Central. Cleveland only needs to win one of the three games to clinch the head-to-head season series.
Head-to-head record — not a Game 163 — will determine a division winner this season in the event of a tie.
Stay tuned for updates as they become available.
