D-backs’ game vs. Rockies rescheduled for 6 p.m. due to weather delay

The Arizona Diamondbacks will be taking on the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night at Coors Field in Denver at 6 p.m., the team announced via Twitter.

First pitch was originally scheduled for 5:10 p.m., but a weather delay pushed back the start time by 50 minutes.

Just before 5 p.m. Arizona time, the Coors Field grounds crew rolled out the tarp over the infield while it was announced that the game was in a weather delay.
