Rain Stops the Red Sox’s Spring Training Game

Sarasota, FL, USAMonday, March 16, 2026

A rainstorm made a planned match between the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles impossible to play.
The game, scheduled for 6:05 p.m. at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, had to be called off because heavy rain and storms were coming across southwest Florida that day. The organizers decided not to find another date for the match.

Pre‑cancellation lineup

  • Pitcher: Sonny Gray (Red Sox) vs. Kyle Bradish (Orioles)
  • Catcher: Carlos Narvaez
  • Shortstop: Nick Sogard
  • Third base: Andruw Monasterio
  • Center field: Kristian Campbell

The lineup mainly featured players fighting for a spot on the bench or those likely to spend the season in the minor leagues.

Next game for the Red Sox

The Red Sox will return to action on Tuesday, heading home to JetBlue Park in Fort Myers.
They will face the Atlanta Braves at 1:05 p.m., and fans can watch the game on NESN or listen to it live on WEEI 850 AM.
