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.
The White Sox, with a record of 36-31, aim to sweep the Braves, who hold a 45-23 record, and maintain their lead in the American League Central. Anthony Kay, standing at 5-1 with a 4.40 ERA, is expected to pitch against former Sox player Martin Perez, who has a 4-3 record and a 3.02 ERA.
