Weather Disrupts MLB and International Cricket Games

Severe weather has disrupted several sporting events, including Major League Baseball and international cricket. The Seattle Mariners and Minnesota Twins had their series finale at Target Field postponed due to heavy rain, affecting the AL Wild Card race. In Detroit, the Tigers—currently holding MLB's best record—have endured six rain delays in seven games, with both schedule and ace pitcher Tarik Skubal's starts repeatedly impacted, including a recent delay against the Athletics during an extreme heat warning. Despite these interruptions, the Tigers have not postponed games but have adjusted start times. Internationally, heavy rain in Colombo interrupted a Test match, halting Bangladesh's innings after a batting collapse. These weather-related disruptions continue to challenge teams' rhythms and schedules across multiple sports.
