The Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates encountered another rain delay at PNC Park, pushing back the start of their series finale on June. Originally scheduled for:35 p.m., first pitch was delayed just ten minutes to:45 p.m. after morning showers subsided, allowing the teams to take the field with only a brief interruption.
This marks the third rain delay during the Pirates’ current homestand and the eighth such delay for Pittsburgh this season. The teams also started their June matchup in a rain delay, with that game eventually beginning at:00 p.m. after a delay of over an hour.
Rain delays have become a recurring theme for both clubs this year, with the Pirates holding a 2-5 record in games affected by weather interruptions. Fans are advised to monitor official team updates for any further schedule changes as unpredictable weather continues to impact the series.
