Boston Red Sox rain delay pushes weekday games to doubleheaders

Heavy rain across the U.S. East Coast forced Major League Baseball to suspend two scheduled games on Tuesday night. The Boston Red Sox‑Orioles matchup at Fenway Park was postponed, and the Yankees‑Pirates game in New York was also delayed. Both contests will be made up on Wednesday as part of doubleheaders, with the first Red Sox game slated for a 1:35 p.m. start and the night game beginning at 7:05 p.m.; the Yankees will open at 1:05 p.m. with a second meeting at 7:05 p.m. Tickets for the postponed contests remain valid for the rescheduled dates.

The postponement gave Boston pitcher Ranger Suárez an extra 24 hours to recover from a mild illness and recent workload, allowing the team to evaluate his health before his next start. Suárez could potentially pitch on the historic day the Red Sox celebrate Venezuelan Heritage Day at Fenway, marking a notable moment for the franchise and its Latin‑American fans.
