The Arizona Diamondbacks were scheduled to take on the Colorado Rockies in the first of a three-game set at 5:40 p.m. on Tuesday night at Coors Field.
Unfortunately for baseball fans, rain has forced the tarp to cover the infield and push back first pitch to 6:30 p.m.
D-backs starter Luke Weaver will be on the mound for Arizona on Tuesday night. The right-hander will be making his 2021 season debut.
