Overview

  • The contest was halted in the top of the fourth inning after umpires delayed play for about 80 minutes due to lightning and heavy rain at Fenway Park.
  • Boston led 2-1 when the game was suspended following first-inning doubles by Jarren Duran and Roman Anthony and an RBI single by Carlos Narváez, while Cincinnati’s lone run came on Matt McClain’s groundout in the third inning.
  • The suspended game will pick up at 2:30 p.m. ET Wednesday as the opener of a day-night doubleheader, with the regular series finale slated for 7:10 p.m.
  • Tickets for Tuesday’s suspended contest remain valid for both the resumed game and the nightcap, and each team may add a 27th player to its roster for the doubleheader.
  • Fenway Park’s open-air design has made it prone to weather disruptions, echoing rain delays during the 1975 World Series between these same franchises.
