Major League Baseball announced today a series of rescheduled Sunday, August 20th games in southern California due to the forecast related to Hurricane Hilary. The scheduled Sunday home games for the Padres, Dodgers and Angels will now become the earlier games of split doubleheaders on Saturday. In particular the San Diego Padres’ Sunday home game vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks has been rescheduled for a split doubleheader with starts of 12:10 p.m. and 5:40 p.m. (both Arizona time) on Saturday.
Well, that’s certainly something. I don’t recall the last time the D-backs had a game postponed in advance, and rescheduled for an earlier date.
