The Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers made a joint decision to postpone Wednesday's game at Oracle Park after the NBA, MLB and other leagues boycotted games in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake by a Wisconsin police officer.
Wednesday's postponed game will be played Thursday as part of a doubleheader between the two NL West rivals. Each game will last seven innings, with the first scheduled to begin at 1:05 p.m. "Giants Pregame Live" will start at 12:30 p.m.
