The White Sox estimated that the game Monday night at Rate Field against the Angels will start at 9:40 p.m. after a storm swept through the area. First pitch originally was scheduled for 6:40 p.m.
After heavy rains this afternoon, the grounds crew removed the tarp at around 2 p.m., and both teams went through batting and fielding practice. The Sox also held a Dog Day parade around the warning track.
