Looking to extend their winning streak to five games Wednesday night, the White Sox are going to have to wait a day and hope the skies over New York City clear out a bit.

The Sox’s game against the Yankees was postponed due to hazardous air quality caused by smoke from Canadian wildfires.

If the air clears to a healthier level Thursday, the White Sox and New York will make up the game as part of a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium.

Game 1 of the doubleheader is set for 3:05 p.m.
