Former major league pitcher Tim Harikkala joined the Revolution and made his debut Tuesday. But after retiring the Blue Crabs in order in the first inning players were pulled off the field for a rain delay that lasted 41 minutes. Harikkala left the game in the bottom of the third, and the Blue Crabs held a comfortable 8-0 lead through three innings.
Harikkala appeared in 73 career big league games from 1995 through 2007.
The Revolution placed reserve outfielder Colin Roberson on the inactive list to make room for Harikkala (pictured above pitching for Tigres de Aragua in Venezuela this winter).
Roberson batted .120 (3-for-25) in 16 games for the Revs.
York also released reliever Andy Shibilo Monday to cut its roster to a maximum 25 players. Shibilo (0-1, 6.75 ERA) appeared in five games for York.
