Mid-April Snow Blankets Coors Field as Dodgers-Rockies Series Begins
A surprise snowstorm in mid-April covered Coors Field in Denver with three inches of snow, affecting the start of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies series. The snow ceased about three hours before the game, allowing the grounds crew to clear the field. Despite the cold conditions, with temperatures at 35°F (2°C) at the first pitch, the game proceeded as scheduled. The Dodgers emerged victorious with a 7-1 win, aided by home runs from Max Muncy and a strong performance by pitcher Tyler Glasnow. The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for the Denver area, predicting sub-freezing temperatures overnight.
