Diamondbacks And Rockies Rained Out, Doubleheader Wednesday

DENVER (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies were postponed by rain for a second straight night.

A regular doubleheader was set for Wednesday — weather permitting, of course. Rain is in the forecast all week.

It was the third straight home game washed away by soggy conditions for the Rockies. Colorado had its game against San Francisco postponed on April 26 before a road swing.

The last time Colorado was rained out in three straight had been April 2005, according to information provided by the team from the Elias Sports Bureau.

Right-hander Josh Collmenter (2-3) will still start for the Diamondbacks. Colorado will stick with left-hander Tyler Matzek (2-0), who has not pitched since leaving his start last week with a cramp in his left hamstring.
