Wednesday night’s game against the Cleveland Guardians was postponed until Thursday due to severe rain, with the Los Angeles Dodgers leading the latter team 3-1 after two innings.
It took one hour and thirty-six minutes for the game to be finally canceled for the evening. The next scheduled time is 12:10 p.m.
The clubs will play their scheduled series finale once the halted game concludes; however, this is not a doubleheader.
José Ramírez hit a home run for the Guardians, while Kiké Hernández of the Dodgers hit a two-run double.
Play was stopped with right-hander Xzavion Curry of the Guardians and left-hander Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers on the mound.
NL West-leading Los Angeles is 17-3 in August and has the third-best record in the majors at 76-48. Cleveland is second in the AL Central, 4 1/2 games behind Minnesota.
Dodgers: RHP Blake Treinen (rotator cuff surgery) tossed one perfect inning in the Arizona Complex League and has been promoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City, but manager Dave Roberts said it’s a “long shot” that he returns to the majors this year.
Guardians: RHP Cal Quantrill (right shoulder inflammation), who has been on the injured list since July 6, will make a final rehab appearance with Triple-A Columbus on Saturday. Quantrill is 0-2 with a 16.20 ERA over 6 2/3 innings for the Clippers.
Guardians RHP Gavin Williams (1-4, 3.02 ERA) and Dodgers RHP Ryan Pepiot (0-0, 1.80 ERA) are scheduled to start the regularly scheduled game Thursday. The pitchers for the resumption of the suspended game have not been set.
