Good morning, Athletics Nation!
Three scheduled MLB games weren’t played on Wednesday, in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last Sunday. Blake, an unarmed Black man, was shot seven times in the back by officers.
The Milwaukee Brewers, who call the state of Wisconsin home, chose not to play on Wednesday. Their opponent, the Cincinnati Reds, agreed to postpone the game. The Seattle Mariners later voted not to play their game against the San Diego Padres, and the San Francisco Giants’ matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers was also postponed.
