PIT-CLE Game Postponed Due to Wildfire Smoke Air Quality
Canadian wildfire smoke has degraded air quality enough to force a postponement of the Pirates-Guardians matchup.
The Pirates vs. Guardians game has been officially postponed due to hazardous air quality conditions resulting from Canadian wildfires. The smoke has spread into the region, making outdoor play unsafe. This is an official postponement, not a delay, meaning the game will need to be rescheduled. Both teams are affected and will need to adjust their schedules accordingly.
