ST. LOUIS -- The XM All-Star Futures Game that was delayed by rain Sunday at Busch Stadium is scheduled to resume at 5:30 p.m.

The game began at 1 p.m. and the World Team scored two runs in the top of the first before heavy rain caused the tarps to come out at 1:22 p.m.

Among the players in the game are Cardinals prospects Brett Wallace, Daryl Jones and pitcher Francisco Samuel. Some players signed autographs during the delay, while others tossed a frisbee in the outfield.
