The rain delay started 2:19 pm. This has the potential to break some rain delay records since its an afternoon game, there's no good reschedule date, they only need 1 more inning, and there's some reason to believe it could get better later this afternoon or evening. There's at least one instance where umpires allowed a delay to run past 5 hours.

1990 - TEX @ CWS 7 hours, 23 minutes (delay controlled by Chicago)

1999 - CIN @ MIL 5 hours, 47 minutes (delay controlled by the umpires)

2009 - WSH @ NYY 5 hours, 26 minutes (delay controlled by NY Yankees)
