Hurricane threatens Angels-Rays game Tuesday

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- With Tropical Storm Fay strengthening, Tampa Bay Rays officials were meeting Monday to decide the status of Tuesday's game with the Los Angeles Angels.

Fay, which could gain momentum to reach hurricane force, is expected to make landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast on Tuesday. The Rays and Angels are scheduled to play at 7:10 p.m.

Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia said before Monday night's game with the Rays that the Angels were planning to remain in their Florida hotel and not leave the area. Should Tuesday's game be postponed, Scioscia said a doubleheader might be played Wednesday.
