The Arizona Diamondbacks knew rain was in the forecast ahead of Thursday's 6:45 p.m. CT matchup with the St. Louis Cardinals — which would have been the finale of a four-game series.They knew days in advance. In fact, Arizona requested to move the game time up to make it a day game and avoid a rainout. That request was not granted; the game was subsequently rained out and postponed until July 23 — costing both teams an off day. Manager Torey Lovullo told Arizona Sports 98.7's Burns & Gambo Show that he was "a little bit" bothered that the game was not moved."I don't want to clown the Cardinals or Major League Baseball, they work really hard at it, but I think there were a bunch of weather models that told us the story of the game potentially being played a little bit earlier," Lovullo said. "We could have completed it and got on our way down to Tampa, but look, I trust the system. I trust the reasons why.""It wasn't super clean. It was a little bit frustrating for us on a lot of different levels, but it is what it is. I don't think we had a choice."Diamondbacks frustrated by St. Louis rainoutJun 19, 2026; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo against the Minnesota Twins at Chase Field.
