Game 5 of the World Series was suspended in the 6th inning with the Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays tied at 2-all due to a heavy rainstorm.
Weather permitting the game will resume Tuesday night at 8 p.m. ET in Philadelphia.
“I can’t tell you tonight when we’ll resume,” commissioner Bud Selig said. “We’ll stay here if we have to celebrate Thanksgiving here.”
This marked the first rain-shortened game in World Series history
“The World Series always should be decided by nine innings with somebody making the final out, not the weather or natural disasters or whatever,” Rays reliever Trever Miller said. “That’s what fans pay to see. That’s what we work hard for all year.”
The weather forecast for Tuesday does not look good, the game will most likely be postponed until Wednesday.
