CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Only one game in the history of the World Series has been suspended due to weather, back in 2008.

With rain chances near the end of tonight's World Series Game 2, this might add one to the history books.

The game has already been pushed up an hour, to 7:08, to try to avoid the rain. We have only a 20 percent chance of rain at 10 p.m., but if the game extends longer than that, rain chances start escalating very quickly. That could result in a suspended game.

If suspended, players would pick up the game where they left off Thursday, still at Progressive Field, because in the World Series, rain-shortened games are a big no-no.

But the crazy part is, this has only happened one other time in Major League Baseball history, in the 2008 World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays.

Rain suspended Game 5 in the bottom of the sixth inning when Citizens Bank Park was considered unplayable, according to the MLB. The Phillies and Rays were tied 2-2 during the Monday game, and the resumption was scheduled for that following Wednesday, Oct. 29.

This ended up adding an entire day to the duration of the World Series because "Under Major League rule 4.12(6), the game is suspended with the Phillies due to bat in the bottom of the sixth inning. [They] would not have permitted the game -- which could clinch a championship for the Phillies -- to be called without nine full innings being played. Both clubs were aware of that fact before the first pitch was thrown."

The Phillies ended up taking home the trophy.

With Corey Kluber breaking records for World Series strikeouts in Game 1, who knows what other type of historical events will happen this year.
