Corbin Carroll Leads Diamondbacks Delay to 2:55 p.m.

corbin carroll and the Arizona Diamondbacks saw Sunday’s series finale against the Colorado Rockies pushed back at Coors Field. The game, which was supposed to start at 1:10 p.m. Denver time, was delayed by rain and thunderstorms before a new first pitch of 2:55 p.m. Denver time was set. Michael Soroka, Arizona’s scheduled starter, was already in the dugout before the delay settled in.

Coors Field Start Changed

The Rockies said the game had begun in a delay, with rain and thunderstorm-filled conditions expected on and off for much of the afternoon. The rescheduled 2:55 p.m. Denver time start also moved the first pitch to 1:55 p.m. Arizona time, giving both clubs a longer wait on the field before the finale could get underway.

Soroka Waits in Denver

Soroka’s presence in the dugout gave Arizona a clear sign of how close the game was to starting before the weather interruption. He was the Diamondbacks’ listed starter for the day, and the delay kept him from taking the mound at the original 1:10 p.m. Denver time slot.

Series Pressure at 1-1

The weather pushed back a game that carried a split-series feel. Arizona had opened with a 9-1 win behind Merrill Kelly’s first career complete game, then dropped the second game 4-2 after an offensive struggle. That left Sunday’s finale as the deciding game in the set, with the delay adding another variable before a first pitch could be thrown.

For fans at Coors Field, the immediate change was simple: wait for 2:55 p.m. Denver time and watch the sky, not just the scoreboard. For Arizona, the long pause came before Soroka’s outing in a game that could still determine how the series ends.
