Rain delays start of Chicago White Sox game in St. Louis

The Chicago White Sox face a weather delay for their Friday road game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Officials announced the hold shortly before the scheduled 7:15 p.m. start time due to incoming poor weather conditions. The Chicago White Sox enter the matchup attempting to break a cold streak, having dropped eight of their last 11 games. The team most recently suffered a three-game sweep against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Rate Field. Despite this recent slide, the Chicago White Sox hold a 1.5-game lead over the Cleveland Guardians in the American League Central standings. The Cleveland Guardians began a separate three-game series against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field on Friday. Stadium staff will provide further updates on the game status as weather conditions evolve.
