Rain Halts Diamondbacks vs Rockies Game
17 May
Summary
- Sunday's series finale at Coors Field delayed by rain and thunderstorms.
- Game time originally set for 1:10 p.m. Denver time is now postponed.
- No official update on when the game will commence or its duration.
The Sunday afternoon series finale between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, has been delayed due to rain and approaching thunderstorms. The game, originally slated to begin at 1:10 p.m. Denver time, is currently postponed. As of now, official updates regarding a new start time or the expected length of the delay have not been released.
Weather forecasts indicate intermittent rain and thunderstorms throughout the afternoon. While the delay may not be exceptionally long, there is a possibility of intermittent interruptions if the game commences shortly. Both teams are concerned about potential pitcher injuries if starters are forced to warm up and then wait for an extended period before pitching, which can be detrimental to their health.
The Diamondbacks are seeking a series victory after losing the second game of the series, 4-2, following a dominant 9-1 win in the opener. Their offense has struggled recently, failing to build significant innings or score high run totals, despite the favorable hitting environment at Coors Field. This stagnant offensive performance was evident in Saturday's game, where they struggled with runners in scoring position.
