A torrential downpour over Yankee Stadium stole Saturday night’s Red Sox-Yankees game just as it was about to begin in earnest.
The storm forced the postponement, and the teams will now make up the game on Aug. 29 as part of a split-admission doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. First pitch for the first game is set for 1:05 p.m., followed by the second game at 7:15 p.m.
With the rainout, what was supposed to be the season-ending stretch between the clubs has been reshaped into a four-game, three-day series. The forecast is clear for the finale Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.
For the games that are still on the schedule, the pitching matchups have been set. The Red Sox will start left-hander Ranger Suárez, who was originally scheduled to pitch Saturday before the postponement. The Yankees will roll with Walpole native Cam Schlittler, their original Sunday starter.
Between the rescheduled Aug. 29 doubleheader and the continued expectation of clear skies Sunday, the final stretch now promises a compressed, high-stakes run—one shaped by weather but paced by baseball’s tight schedule.
