Giants-Nationals Rained Out; Saturday Doubleheader Scheduled

WASHINGTON (AP) — The San Francisco Giants' game at the Washington Nationals on Thursday night was postponed because of rain.

The game was called less than an hour before the scheduled start. The tarp remained over the infield on the night of what was supposed to be the first game at Nationals Park since the 2019 World Series without capacity limits.
