Earlier, at 5:14 p.m., the team announced plans to open the gates at 5:30 p.m., a decision that typically indicates concerns about the weather. Indeed, the forecast looks troubling, with scattered thunderstorms predicted to hit the Bronx around 7:00 p.m., just as the game was originally set to begin, according to Weather.com.

The good news is that the bad weather isn’t expected to last all night. After the initial storms pass, the rest of the evening is forecasted to be mostly cloudy with minimal chances of further precipitation, providing hope that the game can proceed after the delay.
