Wednesday night’s White Sox-Yankees and Tigers-Phillies games have been postponed due to poor air quality. The announcements were made hours before their scheduled start times. Each game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Thursday, in New York and Philadelphia, respectively.
The poor air quality stems from wildfires in Canada, which has spread smoke hundreds of miles away. The situation made for an eerie scene during Tuesday night’s White Sox-Yankees game, which was played as scheduled and resulted in a 3-2 win for Chicago.

At the forefront of his success was Cook. The sixth-year back out of Florida State ran for 1,173 yards and eight touchdowns on 364 carries and caught 39 passes out of the backfield for 295 yards and two scores.
