Dodgers vs. Cardinals game delayed by weather, now scheduled to start at 9:30 p.m. ET

Dodgers vs. Cardinals start time moved due to rain delay in St. Louis

The Dodgers vs. Cardinals game originally scheduled for Friday, June 6, at 8:10 p.m. ET (5:10 p.m. PT) has been delayed due to rain in the St. Louis area. The St. Louis Cardinals confirmed the delay shortly after the scheduled start time, citing inclement weather conditions.

A new start time was later announced, with first pitch now scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (6:30 p.m. PT). The delay came after the Dodgers’ batting practice was cut short, and the tarp was rolled onto the field at Busch Stadium ahead of game time.

The weather has since cleared enough for the teams to proceed with the series opener within the hour.

Sonny Gray will take the mound for St. Louis. The right-hander enters the contest with a 6-1 record, a 3.65 ERA, and 76 strikeouts this season. He will look to continue his strong run against a Dodgers lineup that will be without key contributors Will Smith and Hyeseong Kim, both of whom are not in Friday's starting lineup.

This game marks the beginning of a three-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals, both looking to gain ground in their respective divisions.

The Dodgers enter Friday’s contest looking to bounce back after recent inconsistencies in both hitting and pitching. The Cardinals, meanwhile, will rely on Gray’s command and home-field advantage to open the series on a positive note.

Further updates regarding the weather or any additional changes to the schedule will be provided by team officials as needed.
