Rain Threatens Yankees-Cardinals Game: Forecast Grim

Heavy rain and dark clouds loomed over Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night, jeopardizing the series finale between the Yankees and Cardinals. The tarp was deployed onto the infield at 6:30 p.m. as the game's scheduled 7:05 p.m. start time was pushed back. Weather forecasts indicated that rain was expected to begin before the game and potentially continue until 2 a.m. Thursday.

If Wednesday's game is ultimately rained out, it is likely to be rescheduled for Thursday, as both teams have scheduled days off. This would allow for the game to be made up without impacting subsequent series. The teams had previously split the first two games of their interleague matchup, with the Cardinals winning decisively on Monday night and the Yankees securing a narrow victory on Tuesday.
