SAN DIEGO _ In just the third-ever rainout at Petco Park, Sunday's series finale between the Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers was postponed. The Padres made the announcement less than three hours before game time, citing "unstable, inclement weather including prolonged rain showers and possible thunder and lightning throughout the afternoon."
The game has been rescheduled to Sept. 2 at 12:40 p.m. To better accommodate a doubleheader, a previously scheduled contest against the Dodgers will be pushed from 5:40 p.m. to 7:10 p.m.
This marks Petco Park's first rainout since July 19, 2015. There had been 820 games played here since the only previous rainout, on April 4, 2006.
Tickets for Sunday's postponed game are valid for the same seats at the new game time on Sept. 2. Fans with tickets to both games that day will be asked to exit the ballpark after the first game and re-enter for nightcap. The Padres do not offer refunds for rescheduled games, but tickets can be exchanged prior to the rescheduled game at the Petco Park advance ticket windows for any remaining game during the 2017 regular season, subject to availability.
While rain fell over San Diego on Sunday, the Padres made one roster adjustment. Catcher Hector Sanchez, who took a foul ball off his right foot Friday, was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a foot contusion. Reliever Kevin Quackenbush was recalled from Triple-A El Paso.
