Rockies home opener canceled as MLB scraps two more regular season series due to lockout

For a third straight year, the Rockies home opener will be irregular.

Major League Baseball canceled two more series on Wednesday in wake of the ongoing lockout, wiping out Colorado’s scheduled home opener on April 8 against the Dodgers and the following road series against the Rangers. The Rockies season and home opener is now slated for April 14 against the Cubs, though that date is likely to get pushed back with the cancellation of more games.

The league and the players association have been unable to come to an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement, with Wednesday marking Day 98 of the lockout.
