In this story:

The Atlanta Braves' game against the St. Louis Cardinals is in a rain delay. It was paused in the top of the four innings with no one on and no outs, with second baseman Ozzie Albies as the batter. The game is scoreless.

The game resumed at 11:45 p.m. EDT.

As rain has come down, water has pooled up around Busch Stadium. Water has been pouring down the stairs of the dugouts like a waterfall.

Just a little bit of rain in St. Louis 😅

Chris Sale was the starting pitcher for the Braves at the time of the pause. He tossed three scorless innings, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out five. Unfortuantely for him, due to the delay, his night is likely done.
