As rain continued to pummel swaths of Texas Saturday, a closed-roof Minute Maid Park was flooded during the Houston Astros-Chicago White Sox game.
The heavy rain started about halfway through the game and water seeped into the ballpark, causing drainage issues and flooding of three to four inches.
The minor flooding followed flash flood warnings in the Houston area Saturday. Texas has been hit hard by deadly downpours recently. More than 35 trillion gallons of rain have fallen on Texas this month so far. Dallas has had its wettest month on record.
A game Sunday is expected to proceed, the Astros said on Twitter. The Astros won the game Saturday.
