The Houston Astros completed a four-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics on Thursday, May 16. During the series finale, a massive storm blew up outside, causing rain to pour into Minute Maid Park, glass panels shattered, winds blowing inside the stadium, and visibility became an issue as water spray created a hazy appearance.

Could the Milwaukee Brewers-Houston Astros game on Friday, May 17 be postponed?
The storm that ripped through Houston had winds of 75-80 miles per hour and left much of the city without power. Minute Maid Park never lost power and the Astros were able to finish the game against the Athletics. There is a lot of damage in the Houston area, but no damage so far Breweries or Astros media members commented on the possibility of the game being postponed.
