Not inclement weather, but rather a swarm of bees has unexpectedly delayed the Diamondbacks‘ matchup against the Dodgers on Tuesday night.

Almost out of nowhere, a bee colony formed in the protective netting behind home plate. An adjusted time for first pitch has not been announced.

The Dodgers took game 1 of the series with an 8-4 victory on Monday. James Paxton, despite allowing four earned runs in five innings, improved to 3-0 this season.
For the first time since 2006, not a single batter on LA’s lineup struck out.
The Dodges are first in the NL West with a 19-12 record, they are 7-3 over their last 10 games.
Tonight’s matchup, once the bees are taken care of, will consist of Landa Knack on the mound for LA, and Jordan Montgomery on the mound for Arizona.
