Snowy weather in Denver has led to another Friday outdoor event postponement. The Colorado Rockies announced midday Friday that their evening game against the Washington Nationals is off, and it is being moved to Sunday evening.

On Thursday, Red Rocks Amphitheatre announced that Friday night's Sublime concert was being postponed to Monday.

Snow has been falling throughout the day Friday in the Mile High City, and it is expected to continue overnight. As a result of the possibility for more precipitation on Saturday morning, the Rockies have also moved the start of their Saturday game from 1:10 p.m. to 2:10 p.m.

Sunday will now be a doubleheader. The Rockies and Nationals will play games at 2:10 p.m. and then 6:10 p.m. Separate tickets are needed for each game. People who already purchased tickets for Friday's game should know that their tickets are valid for the later Sunday game only.

The Rockies are looking to turn things around after a disastrous start to the season. Their current record is 3-15.
