Rain Delays Red Sox vs. Cardinals, Sunday Night Baseball Set for Doubleheader Drama
Hey folks, here’s the latest out of Boston, and it’s something that’ll shake up your weekend baseball plans. The highly anticipated Saturday matchup between the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals has been officially postponed due to relentless rain that simply wouldn’t let up. Fans showed up in hopes of catching some baseball action, but after a soggy two-hour and eight-minute delay, the game was called off with not a single pitch thrown. That tarp never even came off the field.
But don’t hang your heads just yet — we’ve got ourselves a double dose of baseball coming your way on Sunday. That’s right, a good old-fashioned day-night doubleheader at Fenway Park. Game 1 kicks off at 1:35 p.m. ET, and if you had tickets for Saturday’s game, you’re in luck — they’ll be honored for that first game. Then later, we roll straight into prime-time action with Game 2 airing on Sunday Night Baseball at 7:10 p.m. ET, as originally scheduled.

Now, if you're into pitching matchups and storylines, this doubleheader's got layers. Left-hander Sean Newcomb, who was originally lined up for the Sunday night slot, will now take the mound for Game 1. This is a big moment for Newcomb — a Massachusetts native making his first start at Fenway in a home uniform. A local kid living the dream, right?
The Red Sox haven’t named their Game 2 starter yet — bit of a mystery there — but the Cardinals have things pretty lined up. Andre Pallante, who was supposed to go on Saturday, is getting the ball for Game 1. He was spotted getting in some work during the rain delay, teasing fans who were clinging to hope. And in the nightcap, veteran Miles Mikolas will toe the rubber. He’s no stranger to Fenway success — just last year he shut down Boston under the ESPN lights with six innings of one-run ball.
And let’s not forget the fireworks that already lit up Fenway on Friday. The Red Sox opened the series with a 13-9 slugfest win, celebrating their 1975 AL Championship squad and signing rookie Kristian Campbell to a massive eight-year, $60 million extension. Big vibes all around.
So while Saturday’s rain was a bummer, Sunday’s shaping up to be an epic day of baseball in Beantown. Two games, one classic ballpark, and the spotlight of Sunday Night Baseball . Don’t miss it.
