SEATTLE — The two-game series between the San Francisco Giants and Seattle Mariners that was scheduled to start Tuesday night in Seattle was postponed because of poor air quality caused by the West Coast wildfires.
The announcement came as forecasters called for smoke to reach very unhealthy levels in western Washington through at least Thursday.
Some players complained about smoky conditions Monday night after the Mariners split a doubleheader with the Oakland Athletics. The smoke level during the games reached a level of very unhealthy on the air quality index, even with the roof closed at T-Mobile Park.
