Fans hoping to catch today’s matchup between our team and the New York Yankees will have to wait just a bit longer. Due to inclement weather, Saturday’s game (April 26) has officially been postponed. However, baseball enthusiasts won’t miss out entirely — the game will be made up as part of a doubleheader tomorrow, Sunday, April 27.
The doubleheader will kick off with the first game beginning promptly at 1:35 p.m. ET. Once the first game wraps up, there will be a brief intermission of approximately 30 minutes before the second game begins. This setup gives fans an exciting opportunity to enjoy a full day of baseball action.
Why the Change?
Spring weather can be unpredictable, and unfortunately, today’s forecast brought heavy rain and unplayable conditions to the ballpark. Safety is always a top priority for both players and fans, and the decision was made to reschedule to ensure everyone’s wellbeing. Postponements like this are never ideal, but they are sometimes necessary to maintain the quality of the game and protect the health of the athletes.
What This Means for Ticket Holders
If you had tickets for today’s game, don’t worry — they are still valid! Typically, tickets for the postponed game will be honored for the rescheduled matchup during the doubleheader. Some organizations allow fans to use the same ticket for either game, or they might specify whether it applies to the first or second game. Be sure to check the team’s official website or contact the ticket office for specific details regarding ticket policies for the doubleheader.
Fans attending the doubleheader should plan ahead. With two games scheduled back-to-back, it will be a long day at the ballpark, so make sure to dress appropriately, bring your energy, and be ready for a memorable experience.
Looking Ahead
Both teams have a lot riding on this series, and with two games scheduled for Sunday, the stakes are even higher. Doubleheaders can be grueling for players, testing their endurance and depth. They can also provide pivotal momentum swings, especially early in the season when teams are trying to establish their rhythm.
For fans, it’s a rare treat. In an age when traditional doubleheaders have become less common, thanks to scheduling changes and the popularity of split-admission doubleheaders, seeing two games for the price of one feels like a throwback to old-school baseball. It’s a full afternoon and evening of home runs, strikeouts, and all the excitement that America’s pastime has to offer.
Final Reminder
Set your alarms and get ready to spend your Sunday at the ballpark. First pitch for Game 1 is at 1:35 p.m. ET, and the second game will start about 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first. Whether you’re rooting from the stands or watching from home, tomorrow promises a double dose of thrilling baseball ⚾ Action.
