The Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins were more than two-thirds of the way through their Saturday afternoon game. The Twins were up 4-1, with two of those runs coming on a home run by Kody Clemens, with his father, Roger, in attendance.
However in the top of the seventh inning, rain began to fall in Boston, and the grounds crew at Fenway Park began covering the infield with tarp. With that, players retreated to their respective clubhouses, as the game officially entered a rain delay.
