Wednesday MLB players chose to postpone a number of central and west coast games in protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake. For many players, taking a stand for one night wasn’t enough.
The first team to stand up Wednesday was the Oakland Athletics who came to an agreement with the Texas Rangers to postpone Thursday’s game.
Not long after that, the Philadelphia Phillies joined in taking a stand. According to Jim Salisbury of NBCSN Philadelphia, the Phillies’ players voted to postpone the game.
The Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics game tonight is going to be postponed, sources tell ESPN.
