PHILADELPHIA (AP) The World Series may resume tonight, weather permitting. Monday's suspended game is scheduled to resume tonight at 8:37 p.m. EDT with the Rays and Phillies tied 2-2 in the 6th inning. The Phillies lead the Series 3 games to 1.
If the Phillies win Game 5 they claim their first World Series title since 1980.
Tampa Bay needs to win Game 5 to send the Series back to Florida for a sixth game and possibly Game 7.
The weather forecast for Philadelphia calls for clearing skies by early afternoon, with temperatures in the upper 30s by nightfall.
