The San Francisco Giants game on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies has officially been postponed, and will be made up on Thursday with a split doubleheader. About half an hour before the game was scheduled to start, it was announced that it will not happen at all, as a large storm is hitting the east coast.
While the game was originally scheduled for 3:40 p.m. PT, it was moved up earlier in the day in hopes of avoiding the storm, and had been slated for a 3:10 p.m. PT start instead.
Now the
teams will instead play twice on Thursday. It’s a split doubleheader, which means that instead of playing twice in a row, with the second game starting whenever the first one ends, there will just be two scheduled games in the day. The first will be at 9:35 a.m. PT, after which the fans will leave the stadium and the next group of ticket holders will enter. The Giants and Phillies will then play the second game of the doubleheader at 2:35 p.m. PT.
Each team will be allotted an extra player that they can add to the roster for the day. The Giants have not announced who they’ll bring up, but it will almost certainly be a pitcher.
