A sports article in some copies yesterday about the Yankees-Orioles game, which was suspended in the eighth inning because of rain after the Yankees had taken an 8-6 lead, referred incorrectly to Major League Baseball’s rule about handling games that are called after the visiting team takes a lead but before the home team has had a chance to bat again. It has been in place since the beginning of the 1980 season; it was not instituted through a rule change before this season. (Yankees Manager Joe Torre mistakenly suggested that his team had benefited because of the recent rule change, but that policy governs the handling of suspended games that are tied.).
