The game’s suspension was attributed to inclement weather, with heavy rains drenching the field and causing pools of water to form on the outfield track and near the dugouts.

The delay lasted for over an hour and a half before the decision was made to suspend the game at 9:23 p.m. ET.


When will the Dodgers vs Guardians resume?

The game will be resumed on Thursday from the top of the third inning in what will be a double header with the series finale.
