SF Giants Cancel Friday's Game Against Dodgers Over Storm

The Giants said tickets holders should keep Friday's tickets to use for the rescheduled game

The opener of the Dodgers-Giants weekend series scheduled for Friday night was rained out.

With heavy rains forecast in the Bay Area all weekend, 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 at 1:05 p.m.

The Giants said tickets holders should keep Friday's tickets to use for the rescheduled game. 

Saturday’s game time has also been pushed back two hours due to the rain. The first pitch will be at 3:05 p.m.

The original game that was scheduled for April 28 was pushed to 7:05 p.m. to accomodate the split doubleheader, the Giants said.

Derek Holland (0-1) had been set to pitch Friday and is now pushed back to Monday's series opener at home against Arizona.

On Saturday, right-hander Chris Stratton (0-1) opposes Los Angeles lefty Rich Hill (1-0), while lefty Ty Blach (1-1) starts Sunday for the Giants against Dodgers ace lefty Clayton Kershaw (0-2).

Kenta Maeda (1-0) had been the Dodgers slated starter Friday.

This marked just the sixth rainout at 19-year-old AT&T Park and first since April 12, 2006, when the Astros were in town. It also was only the 33rd rainout since the franchise moved West to San Francisco in 1958.
