Heavy rains lead to rare AT&T Park cancellation

Heavy rains expected in the San Francisco Bay Area prompted the cancellation of the San Francisco Giants-Los Angeles Dodgers game scheduled for Friday night.

It’s just the sixth rainout at 19-year-old AT&T Park and first since April 12, 2006. It also was only the 33rd rainout since the franchise moved West to San Francisco in 1958.

The Giants postponed the game more than seven hours before the scheduled first pitch. The game has been rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader on April 28.

Saturday’s game was also pushed back by two hours.
