The Washington Nationals and New York Yankees could not finish the first game of their two-game series in the capital of the United States on Tuesday. Heavy rain forced a break-off. The meeting is now to continue on Wednesday – according to the weather.
At 3:3 after five and a half innings, nothing worked. The rain caused an interruption lasting over an hour. The decision was then completely aborted. Shortly before, New York had made up for a 3-0 deficit with Tyler Austin’s 2-run homun and a Sacrifice Fly.
It will now continue on Wednesday at 11.05 pm (CEST) with the planned second game of the series (from Thursday, 1.05 am – both games live on DAZN). But this plan is far from being set in stone.
“The weather report we have doesn’t look great,” said Yankees manager Aaron Boone: “We can only hope to be lucky and prepare to start hopefully at 5pm (local time) and then play two games. But that is obviously out of our hands.” Said weather forecast predicts a completely rainy day in Washington, DC.
Both teams have a planned day off on Thursday, but apparently this is not a catch-up date for discussion. “I think it was now that we would get on the plane and fly to Kansas City,” Boone told reporters: “I think it was also about hotel problems. I suppose there are all kinds of problems. My level of knowledge is that if we don’t get the games over on Wednesday, we will leave. But I’m sure these are things we’re gonna do over the next 24 hours if the weather doesn’t cooperate.”
