Major League Baseball Adjusts Schedule Due to Hurricane Hilary
In preparation for the anticipated impact of Hurricane Hilary on Southern California and the westernmost part of the United States, Major League Baseball (MLB) has taken the proactive step of making schedule changes for three upcoming series. The Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays vs Los Angeles Angels, and Miami Marlins vs Los Angeles Dodgers series will all be affected by the adjustments.
Sunday’s games in each series will be moved to Saturday to ensure the safety of players, staff, and fans. To accommodate this change, a split doubleheader will be played on Saturday. The start times for the two games on Saturday are as follows: Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres – Game 1 at 3:10 p.m. ET; Game 2 at 8:40 p.m. ET, Tampa Bay Rays at Los Angeles Angels – Game 1 at 4:07 p.m. ET; Game 2 at 9:07 p.m. ET, and Miami Marlins at Los Angeles Dodgers – Game 1 at 3 p.m. ET; Game 2 at 9:10 p.m. ET.
MLB’s decision to adjust the schedule has been met with appreciation by Dodgers manager, Dave Roberts. He expressed gratitude for the league’s proactive approach in ensuring the safety of everyone involved.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Hilary is currently a Category 4 storm and is expected to weaken before reaching Los Angeles on late Sunday or early Monday. This weather event has led to the issuance of tropical storm watches and warnings for the region, marking a historic event.
MLB’s priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of all players, staff, and fans. By making these schedule changes, the league is taking necessary precautions to avoid any potential harm or disruption caused by the approaching hurricane.
