The game, which was originally set to start at 1:10 p.m. MST at Salt River Fields, will now start at 6:10 p.m. Gates will open at 4:30 p.m.
The Diamondbacks are the latest Cactus League team to push their start time back as the metro Phoenix area could potentially see record highs later in the week. Friday’s forecast calls for a high of 107 degrees. The daily heat record for March 20 is 96 degrees.
Arizona is set to play several Cactus League games this week, amidst the heat wave, including the Chicago Cubs at Salt River Fields on Wednesday and the Chicago White Sox at Camelback Ranch on Thursday.
Wednesday’s and Thursday’s forecasts call for record highs of 102 and 105 degrees, respectively. If Wednesday’s temperature reaches more than 100 degrees, it would mark the earliest date in the year Phoenix has reached triple-digit temperatures. The record for the earliest date to reach 100 degrees is March 26.
