CHICAGO — No fighting in this one. Just a lot of rain.
One night after a benches-clearing brawl led to five ejections, the Royals and White Sox were tied at 2 when Friday's game was suspended by rain heading into the ninth inning.
Managers Robin Ventura of the White Sox and Ned Yost of the Royals huddled with the umpires after the eighth, and then crew chief Tim Welke waved the players off the field.
The game was suspended after a 40-minute delay. It will be resumed on Saturday at 1:10 CT with the Royals batting in the top of the ninth.
