NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Boone woke up before heading to the ballpark for his first home opener as New York Yankees manager and peeked outside the window.
“Huh,” he recalled saying to himself. “It really is 100 percent chance of snow at 7 a.m.”
Two hours later, the Yankees postponed Monday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays and rescheduled it for 4:05 p.m. Tuesday.
No. 5 starter Jordan Montgomery remains the scheduled pitcher for the Yankees. The Rays will shift to ace Chris Archer in place of Austin Pruitt, who won Thursday’s opener in relief.
