Chiefs' home opener rained out

Today's game between the Syracuse Chiefs, the Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, and the Lehigh Valley IronPigs has been postponed due to rain. The game will be rescheduled at a later date to be announced. Syracuse right-hander Tanner Roark and Lehigh Valley left-hander Adam Morgan are scheduled to throw on Saturday.

The Chiefs and IronPigs will play a single game tomorrow at 2:00. The game will serve as the Chiefs' home opener, with Opening Day festivities scheduled for before the game.
