The New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals are working through rain delays as they prepare to complete their three-game series on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. The game was initially scheduled for a 7:05 p.m. start but has faced significant weather challenges, leading to the tarp being put onto the field due to dark clouds overhead. Recent forecasts predict continued rain, which may impact the game's progress and potential rescheduling.
