The baseball game between the Chicago White Sox and Atlanta Braves, set to start at 6:40 p.m. Thursday at Rate Field, is delayed due to a storm system moving through northern Illinois. Authorities have placed the entire Chicago metropolitan area under a tornado watch until 9 p.m. and a flood watch until 11 p.m. The team will continue to monitor the weather and provide updates.
