Rain Washes Out Yankees-Red Sox Series Opener, Gregorius May Return Next Week

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — An action-packed four game series between the Yankees and Red Sox – their first meeting in over a month – is now a three game series thanks to Mother Nature.

New York was taking batting practice Thursday when the game was postponed just before 5 p.m. Boston then started BP before a downpour began.

This series will be shortened to three games, and the rain out was rescheduled as part of a day/night doubleheader on Aug. 3 that creates a four-game series in Boston’s final scheduled trip to New York this season.
