Marlins-Red Sox game postponed by rain at Fernway Park

<p>BOSTON &mdash; The game between the Boston Red Sox and Miami Marlins scheduled for Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park has been rained out.</p>
<p>It was called after about a 20-minute delay.</p>
<p>There was no immediate information regarding a makeup date. Being an interleague game, the Marlins make only one trip to Boston this season.</p>
<p>On Friday, the Red Sox won 5-2 in a game that was called after 5 1/2 innings due to heavy rain. Boston also won Saturday’s game, 3-1 in chilly and sometimes drizzly conditions.</p>
<p>Saturday’s game marked the first time that the Red Sox were allowed full capacity after the state removed limits on crowd sizes during the pandemic. There was a paid attendance of 25,089 with the ballpark about half full because of the weather.</p>
<p>Boston has won the past nine games in Fenway between the teams and is 18-6 lifetime against the Marlins.</p>
<p>The forecast for Sunday afternoon called for steady rain late into the night and wasn’t expected to subside until early Monday morning.</p>
<p>UP NEXT:</p>
<p>Marlins: Off Monday before opening a two-game series in Buffalo against Toronto.</p>
<p>Red Sox: They open a three-game series in Houston on Memorial Day. </p>
