Suspension Saturday

Two east coast games failed to finish on Saturday. The Nationals game stopped in the sixth inning with the Padres leading 8-4 after multiple people suffered gunshot wounds outside the park.

The District of Columbia’s Metropolitan Police Department had earlier said on Twitter that two people where shot outside of the ballpark. Later, it was announced that the shooting happened at N Street and South Capitol Street SW, near the park’s third base gate.

It said in a follow-up tweet that “two additional victims associated with the incident walked into area hospitals for treatment of gunshot wounds.”

The Marlins at the Phillies played into extra innings tied at two when the rains came and stopped play. Both games resume at 1 PM EDT Sunday afternoon.

All the stats from the games are included in updates.
