The first contest of a four-game series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Washington Nationals set for Monday was postponed due to inclement weather.
The game has been rescheduled for Tuesday, as the two sides will play a doubleheader at Nationals Park.
The makeup game will start at 10:05 a.m., while the originally scheduled 4:05 p.m. ballgame remains as planned.
Madison Bumgarner was set to pitch for the D-backs on Monday for his third start of the year. He allowed one run over five innings against the Houston Astros last Tuesday.
