The spring training game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Seattle Mariners on Thursday was canceled due to field conditions caused by inclement weather.
The game was scheduled to start at 6:40 p.m. at Peoria Stadium, the spring training home of the Mariners.
Peoria had seen .31 inches of rain on Thursday prior to the game’s scheduled start.
Spring training games are not made up or rescheduled. The Diamondbacks also had a spring training game canceled last week due to rain.
Arizona was slated to start Cristian Mena. The right hander has made two appearances this spring and has pitched a combined three scoreless innings.
Seattle would have handed the ball to Emerson Hancock. The 2020 No. 6 overall pick has started three times since the start of spring training and carries an 0-2 record and 9.53 ERA over 5.2 innings. Hancock started on Feb. 23 against Arizona and allowed three hits and a run over 1.2 innings of work.
