TAMPA, Fla. – The beginning of Tuesday evening’s two-game sequence opener between the Yankees and Rays was being delayed by a extreme climate risk at Steinbrenner Area.
Rays’ grounds crew members rolled the tarp on the sector at 7:27 p.m., simply eight minutes earlier than the scheduled begin, with Tampa Bay right-hander Shane Baz set to oppose Yanks’ veteran lefty Carlos Rodon.
On the message board, the Rays’ group warned followers that “extreme climate is approaching the realm” and to “please exit the seating bowl and take cowl on the concourse as directed by workers.”
