Notes & reviews

Rain started falling
10-minute rain delay
45-minute rain delay; while the canvas covers were being removed from the field, it started to rain again but Umpire Charlie Moran sided with the fans who were yelling 'Play Ball'; the Pirates objected and said they would file a protest with the league office.
30-minute rain delay then the game was called
