In the final week, though, Major League Baseball and the umpiring crew assume the responsibility. Saturday, MLB was in control of the start, not the Nationals....The league, Johnson said, believed the weather would clear at 11 p.m. Sure enough, by 11:30 p.m. the tarp had been removed from the infield and the rain had stopped...But as the night wore, the radar showed a second storm cell coming behind that first rain clouds. The league considered starting the game with the chance for a second rain delay. Johnson objected, not wanting both teams to lose starting pitchers in the event of the second delay.
