Dodgers-Nationals Series Opener Postponed, Split Doubleheader Scheduled For Saturday

Friday’s series opener between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals was postponed due to inclement weather. A split doubleheader is now scheduled at Nationals Park on Saturday, with the first game (the rescheduled contest) beginning at 11:05 a.m. PT.

First pitch for Saturday’s originally scheduled game was pushed back one hour, and is now set for 5:05 p.m. PT. All tickets for Friday night’s postponed game are eligible for Saturday’s 2:05 p.m. start. Both games will require separate admission.

Whether the teams will manage to play both games, much less one, doesn’t appear to be a likely scenario considering the forecast calls for more rain.

For the Nationals, it’s a third time in the past four days days weather has impacted a home game. Their contest against the New York Yankees on Tuesday night was suspended after 5.1 innings, and the series finale was postponed to June 18.

The Dodgers face a postponed game for a second time this season, with the first instance coming against the San Francisco Giants. They played a doubleheader the weekend of the Dodgers’ next visit to AT&T Park, which was split.

Because of this week’s weather trouble, the Nationals’ starting rotation was thrown in flux a bit. They went into the series expecting to start Max Scherzer, Tanner Roark and Stephen Strasburg.

Dodgers probables were Ross Stripling, Rich Hill and Alex Wood.
