Yankees-Blue Jays AL East Game Delayed by Rain in Sixth Inning

The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays game on September 6, 2025, was delayed due to rain in the bottom of the sixth inning with the Yankees leading 2-1. The delay occurred shortly after a pivotal defensive play by Cody Bellinger, who threw out Bo Bichette attempting to score, a moment that could be crucial in the AL East race where the Blue Jays hold a four-game lead. The Yankees announced the rain delay on social media and indicated they would provide updates as available, with no resumption time yet set. The game could be declared official if called off due to weather, which would impact the postseason standings given the Blue Jays' head-to-head tiebreaker advantage. This rain delay adds uncertainty to a critical series that is key in determining the AL East division outcome. Meanwhile, an unrelated game between the Yankees and Astros experienced a separate delay involving a bat investigation, but it is not connected to the Blue Jays game.
