The White Sox and Braves were delayed by rain during the eighth inning of their game Monday at Guaranteed Rate Field.

The Braves led the Sox 6-0.

Rain began falling in the sixth inning and was played in rainy, windy conditions after that.

The Sox are trying to avoid falling to 0-4 after they were swept by the Tigers in their season opening series over the weekend.

The Sox, who were being out-hit 10-3, had their last 15 batters retired after Yoan Moncada’s leadoff double against Braves starter Charlie Morton in the third inning.
