White Sox-Cardinals restart time: Rain delay updates from Busch Stadium

Talk about horrendous timing.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Sox entered the bottom of the tenth inning at Busch Stadium with the home team trailing 6-5. But the Cardinals were threatening, with second baseman Nolan Gorman stepping into the batter's box with the bases loaded with two outs on the board. Gorman not only had the chance to tie the game, but also win it.

White Sox reliever John Brebbia also had the opportunity to close out the game to bring an end to their four-game losing streak.

The thing is, the skies opened up and there was a heavy downpour. As home plate umpire C.B. Bucknor met with Brebbia and Gorman, the grounds crew at Busch Stadium brought out the tarp. That's right, bringing out the tarp with only one more out remaining until the potential end of the game.

So, Cardinals and White Sox fans at home may be wondering, when is the game set to return?
