CLEVELAND — The White Sox-Guardians series finale Sunday, which was scheduled for 1 p.m., will start at 1:30 because of a rain delay. After the Progressive Field grounds crew had removed the tarp from the field, the skies opened, and the crew rushed to cover the field again. The tarp is now off, and the crew is working to get the field ready.
Left-hander Chris Murphy is slated to open the game for the Sox, with right-hander Erick Fedde set to follow. Righty Tanner Bibee will start for the Guardians.
After losing the first two games of the series in walk-off fashion, the Sox won 3-1 on Saturday. Sean Burke had a career-high 11 strikeouts in six innings, and relievers Brandon Eisert and Grant Taylor closed it out.
