The Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates are in a rain delay at Great American Ball Park.
The Aug. 1 game got underway on-schedule at 6:40 p.m. but entered a weather delay at 8:20 p.m. Prior to that, the Reds and Pirates played a water-logged affair that saw the teams persist through lightning, a tornado warning and audible tornado warnings howling in nearby Northern Kentucky.
The Pirates led 4-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning when the game was stopped by the umpiring crew.
An estimated time for when play will resume wasn’t announced. Fans inside Great American Ball Park were advised of approaching inclement weather.
The Enquirer will update this story.
