Pirates vs. Brewers Stops for Rain Delay

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates and Milwaukee Brewers had to stop their game for a rain delay at PNC Park.

The Pirates trail the Brewers, 5-3, and had both center fielder Oneil Cruz on third base and designated hitter Andrew McCutchen on first base with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning.

The umpires eventually decided that the game needed a delay, with rain coming down, and the Pirates groundscrew came out and got he tarp over the infield.

The Pirates gave an update and said that it would restart at 10:00 p.m.

This marks the fifth rain delay for the Pirates this season, all coming during the month of May, but the first game that had a rain delay during it taking place, as the previous four saw the first pitch start time move up.

Pittsburgh had back-to-back rain delays against the San Diego Padres at PNC Park on May 2 and May 3.

The first rain delay moved the start from 6:40 to 7:50, a 70 minute delay, and the second game got moved from 4:05 p.m. to 5:45 p.m., an hour and 40 minute delay.

The Pirates also had two rain delays on their recent road trip. They had a 15 minute delay vs. the New York Mets at Citi Park on May 14, moving first pitch from 7:10 p.m. to 7:25 p.m., and an hour and 45 minute delay vs. the Philadelphia Phillies on May 16, which moved first pitch from 6:45 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Pittsburgh is 1-3 in their rain delay games this season, as they lost both games vs. the Padres and 8-3 to the Phllies, while winning 4-1 against the Mets.

This marks the first meeting between the Pirates and Brewers this season and the Pirates have now played all their opponents in the National League Central Division.

Milwaukee is 24-26 overall and fourth in the NL Central, six games behind the Chicago Cubs in first place and four games behind the San Diego Padres for the final NL Wild Card spot.

Pirates OnSI will provide updates if there is any change to the restart time or a cancellation

2016 Championship Reunion: Conference Final Lookback | Pittsburgh Penguins

Ahead of the 2016 Championship Reunion on Jan. 31, we are taking a look back at each playoff round with a player who had a big impact on the series. Today, Bryan Rust talks the Eastern Conference Final against Tampa Bay. To join us for the reunion, click here.

“You’re now a Pittsburgh legend.”

That’s what Nick Bonino said to Bryan Rust on the bench after the Penguins defeated the Lightning in Game 7 of their 2016 Eastern Conference Final matchup.

“And I was like, what are you talking about?” Rust said with a laugh. “But over the years, it’s like, okay – the more and more you think about it, it’s like, wow, that’s something that’s cool.”

Then 24 years old, Rust put together a performance for the ages.

Game 1 turned out to be Andrei Vasilevskiy’s introduction to the league. Then 21 years old, the 2012 first-round pick – drafted by Tampa at PPG Paints Arena – took over between the pipes after Ben Bishop was carted off the ice and sidelined for the rest of the series. Vasilevskiy helped the Lightning earn a 3-1 victory in Game 1 before the teams went to overtime in Game 2.

And in the first minute, Rust helped the Penguins earn a 3-2 victory after setting up Sidney Crosby for the winner.

“I got off the bench, and what I would guess I was thinking was I was gonna drive the net, and then kind of saw him kind of out of the corner of my eye,” Rust recalled with a laugh. “So, I just pulled up, kind of laid it to him, and he did the rest.”
