FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — The spring training game between St. Louis and the Boston Red Sox Monday, was rained out with the Cardinals leading in the middle of the fifth inning.

With the game three outs shy of being official, rain started and the game was called after a 55-minute wait. There was standing water on the field when the decision was made not to continue. Cardinals starter Lance Lynn allowed one hit in four innings. Boston’s Rick Porcello gave up two runs and six hits in five innings.(backslash)
