Sunday marked the second time this season the last game of a Rockies-Pirates series was called because of weather. After cold and somewhat snowy weather led to a postponement on April 28, the Pirates agreed to a June 9 makeup, which occurred on what had been an off-day in the middle of a Pittsburgh homestand.
Losing Monday's day off leaves the Rockies with 27 days without an off-day, and the Pirates with 31. Sunday's game counts as a work day. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement between MLB and the MLB Players Association, the players must approve any stretch of work greater than 20 days.
