Cubs-Yankees rain delay update: Start time after weather delay

This post will be updated as more information about the rain delay is revealed.

UPDATE at 4:33 p.m. ET: Play officially resumed in the Bronx after just over 20 minutes of a delay.

The rain delay was officially called at 4:10 p.m. ET. No restart time has been set.

The necessity of the delay was fairly obvious. Clay Holmes suffered a balk when his foot slipped on the mound as conditions worsened.

The question now is how long the rain will come down and prevent the continuation of the game.

Fans can only hope the weather clears up in short order, but no one can say for sure at this point.

Coming off a win on Saturday, the Yankees had control of the game going into the later innings. Anthony Rizzo drove in a run in the first for NY while Seiya Suzuki hit a home run to tie it up in the fifth inning. Then Anthony Volpe and Kyle Higashioka hit home runs to give the home team a 4-1 lead in the sixth.

The Cubs fought back with a vengeance Jared Young and Yan Gomes brought runs home in the seventh, tying it up at 4-4. Suzuki then drove in a go-ahead run in the top of the eighth before Nico Hoerner added to the advantage by scoring on a wild pitch.
