Red Sox Weather Update Brings Rain Delay as 11-Game Win Streak Rests in Balance originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The only thing that can slow down the Boston Red Sox right now is some rain.
They're slated to play the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, but inclement weather is going to force the game to start in a rain delay.
The Red Sox announced the news about 3:25 p.m. ET on Saturday:
The game was scheduled to begin at 4:10 p.m. ET, so now it'll start sometime after that.

Red Sox rain delay weather update
The good news is that the Boston chances of precipitation drop quickly in the forecast
If this had been a 7 p.m. start, there likely wouldn't have been any issue.
It's not immediately clear how long everyone will have to wait, but it shouldn't be an incredibly brutal delay.
The Red Sox will be sending lefty Patrick Sandoval to the mound to try and turn an 11-game winning streak into 12.
The Rays are countering with Ian Seymour.
Tampa Bay still leads the AL East, but the doubleheader sweep by Boston on Friday set the tone for this weekend series and showed that the All-Star Break wasn't going to cool the Red Sox down. They'll just have to hope a rain delay doesn't have any adverse effects, either.
