Colorado Rockies vs. San Diego Padres: Weather updates from Coors
By Jake Shapiro
DENVER—The Colorado Rockies start a critical series with the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night. With the Denver Nine vying for first-place in the National League West for the first time ever and being winners of eight-of-their-last-nine, it’s like a Rolex in the Rockys, it just won’t stop!
Unfortunately the weather did not get the same memo and there is rain in the forecast for downtown for most of the evening. There’s a 60 percent chance of rain through six then more rain in the forecast from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Pregame batting practice was cancelled and instead at 4 p.m. the tarp was on the diamond at Coors Field.
Tyler Anderson will get the ball whenever that will happen. As of now, first pitch is scheduled for 6.40 p.m.
Of course earlier in the year there were thunderstorms of a different kind when the Padres met the Rockies in Denver.
