The scheduled game between the Chicago White Sox and the Atlanta Braves at Rate Field is delayed because of a storm. The event, set to begin at 6:40 p.m. Thursday, is affected by a weather system moving through northern Illinois.
The Chicago metropolitan area is under a tornado watch until 9 p.m. and a flood watch until 11 p.m. The White Sox organization is closely observing the weather and will provide updates as they become available.
The White Sox, with a record of 36-31, aim to sweep the Braves, who hold a 45-23 record, to maintain their lead in the American League Central division. Anthony Kay, holding a 5-1 record with a 4.40 ERA, is scheduled to pitch against former White Sox player Martin Perez, who has a 4-3 record and a 3.02 ERA.
