OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - The start of the game between the Cincinnati Reds and Oakland Athletics at the Coliseum will be delayed because of a lighting malfunction in left field.

The A's announced 15 minutes before the 7:07 p.m. scheduled start Tuesday that the game would not begin on time. A bank of lights above the upper deck in left field was only partially lit.

There was no immediate word on when the game was expected to start.
