Cardinals-Red Sox rain delay: Updates on game postponement

Update: Saturday's game between the Cardinals and the Red Sox has been postponed. They are now scheduled to have a doubleheader on Sunday. Details about the start times can be found below.

The St. Louis Cardinals are looking to get back in the win column after a 13-9 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Friday, but inclement weather has put Saturday's game into jeopardy.

As storms roll through the Boston area on Saturday afternoon, we will keep you up to date on when today's games starts, or if the game ends up being postponed.

When will the Cardinals-Red Sox game start? Saturday's game has been postponed and a doubleheader is now scheduled for Sunday.

Heavy rain was falling in Boston leading up to the original start time of 3:10 PM CT/4:10 PM EST, and the rain never really let up around Fenway Park leading to a postponement of Saturday's contest.

The Cardinals and Red Sox are now scheduled to have a doubleheader on Sunday, with the first game set to start at 12:35 PM CT/1:35 PM EST and the second contest starting at 6:10 PM CT/7:10 PM EST.

The series opener was an exciting, high-scoring affair for those who got to catch it. The Red Sox exploded for five runs in the first inning off of Cardinals' starter Erick Fedde, but St. Louis fought throughout the game to try and snatch that game from the jaws of defeat. Unfortunately, their bullpen had a weak showing, giving up seven runs from the fourth inning on.

Luckily for the Cardinals, their offense has been producing like one of the best in baseball to this point, tied for third in baseball in runs scored as they slug and get on base at an incredible clip.

If today's game is played, the Cardinals will send Andre Pallante to the hill to match up with Richard Fitts. Pallante gave up two runs in five innings of work during his first outing of the year while Fitts surrendered three runs in six innings of work.

Despite two red-hot games from Ivan Herrera, he is slated to have the day off today in favor of Pedro Pags. While that is to be expected throughout the year, it is surprising that he is not the DH today to keep his bat in the lineup.

Hopefully, both games can occur tomorrow even with Sunday's forecast not looking promising as well.
