Diamondbacks-Cardinals series finale at Busch Stadium postponed due to weather

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ road game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday has been postponed due to inclement weather, the Cardinals announced.

The game was scheduled to start at 4:45 p.m. MST, but the forecast provided doubt that baseball would be played.

The game was initially delayed approximately a half-hour before first pitch with no announced start time.

Arizona and St. Louis will make up the game on July 23, which was a mutual off day. First pitch will be at 2:15 p.m. MST.

There was evidently some frustration on the Diamondbacks’ side for not moving Thursday’s start time to beat the rain:

No you’re right thank you @Cardinals for not moving our game up to this afternoon when we politely asked given the whole world knew it was going to rain tonight. I actually was really hoping we could lose an off day and turn it into a 4 city road trip 👍🏻

The Diamondbacks will visit the Washington Nationals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Cleveland Guardians from July 24 to Aug. 2, and this rescheduled game will add a fourth stop on the road trip.

The D-backs won two of the first three games in this four-game series, earning a 9-4 victory on Wednesday. Zac Gallen was slated to start on Thursday, matched up against Cardinals right-hander Michael McGreevy.

The Diamondbacks are set to travel to Tampa Bay for a weekend series against the Rays after leaving Busch Stadium on Thursday night.
