Rain delays loom as Cincinnati Reds begin weekend series

With the Reds back from the All-Star break, there’s a chance for rain throughout the weekend at Great American Ball Park.

The Reds dealt with two postponements because of rain earlier this season, including Opening Day.

Entering Friday’s series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Reds have sat through 10 rain delays totaling more than 11 hours. Eight of the delays were home games.

In 2015, the Reds had 18 weather delays at GABP, which totaled 26 hours and 57 minutes. It was the highest total of delays at home since the Reds started tracking delays in 1978.
