Yankees and Rays delayed by power outage in 9th inning

Rays and Yankees fans were left in the dark Sunday when the power went off at Tropicana Field.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays are being delayed in the ninth inning by a power outage at Tropicana Field.

The lights at the dome stadium went out after Austin Pruitt's first pitch to Thairo Estrada leading off the ninth inning Sunday.

Both teams' television broadcasts also lost power.

The Tampa Bay Rays later tweeted the power outage came from a main switch in the building failing. 

The Rays said the operations staff found the problem and rerouted the electrical feed so the game could go on.
