What happened

The Yankees got a potential victory Saturday night without taking the field.

Why it matters

Their game against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium was postponed because of storms and rescheduled as part of a split-doubleheader on Aug.

Common ground

29 — which gives them a chance to have Aaron Judge in the lineup if he is back from a stress fracture in his rib by then.

Claim 2: “The skies opened up around the time first pitch was scheduled for Saturday night (7:35 p.m.)”

DISPUTED

The claim specifies a first pitch time of 7:35 p.m. However, one web search result explicitly states the scheduled first pitch time was 7:15 p.m. ET, while another mentions 7:57 p.m. for a different game context. There is a contradiction regarding the exact scheduled time.
