Rain Delay

Baseball fans eagerly awaiting the rubber match between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres will have to exercise patience, as Mother Nature has intervened. The Dodgers announced that Sunday’s primetime clash, part of the ESPN Sunday Night Baseball broadcast, will experience a weather delay due to rain in the area. The news comes fresh off a similar scenario from the previous evening, where the second game of the series was pushed back by over an hour before the teams could take the field.

The second round of the 2024 Valspar Championship was a tale of perseverance as players battled relentless rain showers and fading daylight at Innisbrook Resort’s Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor, Florida. Among those undeterred by the challenging conditions was the seasoned 50-year-old Stewart Cink, who carded an impressive 4-under 67 to surge into a five-way tie for the lead at 6-under 136. Cink found himself in elite company atop the leaderboard, joined by first-round leader Kevin Streelman (72), Chandler Phillips (68), Brendon Todd (69), and Canadian Mackenzie Hughes (68).
