Weather Delays Chicago White Sox vs. Atlanta Braves Game

The Chicago White Sox game against the Atlanta Braves, scheduled for 6:40 p.m. Thursday at Rate Field, is facing a weather delay. A storm system is moving through northern Illinois, prompting this decision.

The entire Chicago metropolitan area is under a tornado watch until 9 p.m., accompanied by a flood watch lasting until 11 p.m. Updates regarding the game will be provided as the weather evolves.

The White Sox, with a record of 36-31, aim to sweep the Braves, who hold a 45-23 record. Achieving this would maintain their first-place standing in the American League Central.

Anthony Kay, holding a 5-1 record and a 4.40 ERA, is set to pitch for the White Sox, taking on Martin Perez, a former Sox pitcher with a 4-3 record and a 3.02 ERA.
