Ready for an old-timey twi-night doubleheader? Yesterday's rain-out forces two games in one day. But with the weather for this evening still looking ominous, that might end up being and iffy proposition anyway.

Game One today will feature last night's starters: Jordan Zimmerman (2-2, 6.07) versus Randy Johnson (4-4, 5.71), going for the 300th win in his illustrious career.

Game Two pits Ross Detwiler (0-1, 4.80) against Matt Cain (6-1, 2.31).

WEATHER

Rain. Showers in the afternoon turning to thunderstorms in the evening. They might be able to get the first game in (though it is currently raining as I type this), but this evening looks no good at all. Game One temp: 67F. Game Two: 63F.
