Los Angeles AngelsLos Angeles DodgersMLBSports MLB reschedules 3 Sunday games in California because of the forecast for Hurricane Hilary by Madison Thomas August 19, 2023 written by Madison Thomas August 19, 2023 5 comments Bookmark 27 Due to the projected impact of Hurricane Hilary, Major League Baseball has made adjustments to its schedule in California, rescheduling three Sunday games. This decision came as Hurricane Hilary, classified as a powerful Category 4 storm, approached Mexico’s Pacific coast on Friday. MLB announced the changes, moving the games originally set for Sunday to Saturday. The games affected are Arizona vs. San Diego, Tampa Bay vs. the Los Angeles Angels, and Miami vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers. These matchups will now be played as split doubleheaders. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed appreciation for MLB’s proactive approach, despite the inconvenience caused to those holding Sunday tickets. The situation of a hurricane affecting Southern California is unusual, prompting the need for preventive measures. Roberts emphasized the importance of prioritizing safety. The game times for the rescheduled matches are as follows: In San Diego, the first game starts at 12:10 p.m. with the second at 5:40 p.m. At Angel Stadium, the first game begins at 1:07 p.m., and the second at 6:07 p.m. For the games at Dodger Stadium, they are scheduled for 12 p.m. and 6:10 p.m. Angels manager Phil Nevin, having lived in the region for 52 years, acknowledged the unprecedented nature of a hurricane affecting the area. He expressed a mix of curiosity and apprehension about the situation. Not only MLB but also Major League Soccer’s LA Galaxy and Los Angeles Football Club had to rearrange their schedules due to the hurricane. The Galaxy’s game against Real Salt Lake was moved to October 14, and LAFC’s match against Colorado was postponed to Wednesday. As of Friday, Hurricane Hilary’s intensity had fluctuated, with sustained winds reaching 130 mph in the evening after having been at 145 mph. It was anticipated to remain a hurricane as it approached Mexico’s Baja California peninsula on Saturday night, and then transition into a tropical storm as it approached Southern California on Sunday. Southern California hasn’t seen a tropical storm make landfall since 1939, according to the National Weather Service. Tampa Bay pitcher Zach Eflin expressed surprise at the prospect of hurricanes affecting the region and hoped that Hurricane Hilary would weaken to a tropical storm by the time it reaches the area. The NFL had two exhibition games scheduled at SoFi Stadium in Southern California for the weekend. The status of these games, featuring the Los Angeles Rams against the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday night and the Los Angeles Chargers against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday night, was uncertain at the time of the report.
