Wednesday's Dodgers vs. Giants Game Postponed
[Updated at 8:35 p.m. PT. Major League Baseball has announced that Wednesday night's game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Thursday, with the first game beginning at 1:05 p.m. PT.
As was the case in cities and sports across the country, and beginning with the lead set by the Milwaukee Bucks' decision not to play their scheduled NBA playoff game versus the Orlando Magic, the Dodgers and Giants players followed suit, deciding to sit out their game Wednesday night at Oracle Park. The athletes' stand is a response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin Sunday night.
Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts, along with players Mookie Betts, Clayton Kershaw and Kenley Jansen met the media shortly after 6:30 p.m. to address the situation.
