The game began with the lights turned on at hazy PNC Park, and Pirates star Andrew McCutchen put on a face mask to run the bases after hitting a single in the first inning.
“After collaborative discussions between Major League Baseball, the Major League Baseball Players Association, our team of expert medical providers at Allegheny Health Network, our players and staff, we have made the decision to move forward with our game today,” the Pirates’ statement read. “We will continue to closely monitor the air quality index levels around the ballpark and respond accordingly.”for the Pirates on Wednesday. Thursday’s game was the finale of a three-game series.
On Wednesday, Padres manager Bob Melvin said he was told Major League Baseball would consider postponing a game if the air quality index reached at least 200. The index was at 189 when the delay was announced Thursday.“I don’t really know why we are playing. It seems like everyone is kind of uneducated on this subject, which is too bad,” Pittsburgh catcher Austin Hedges said Thursday morning, before the delay was announced.
Melvin had a similar experience as manager of the Oakland Athletics on Sept. 14, 2020, when a doubleheader in Seattle was played with poor air quality. “I’ve been through this before. Two hundred is kind of the level that they look at to potentially have meetings about,” Melvin said. “Seattle, we played in that game when it was at 240 or whatever it was. ... We were the guinea pig for that one.”
