Unfortunately, according to Environment Canada, heavy rainfall is forecast for Sunday as well, and a special heavy rain warning is in effect.

The two teams are scheduled to play back-to-back but Vancouver team officials said only one game is expected to be played on Sunday.

The Vancouver Canadians is the High-A affiliate team for the Toronto Blue Jays.

Recent Toronto Blue Jays trade acquisition and their ninth prospect Adam Macko, a native of Stony Plain, AB and Vancouver, will start game one while MLB.com’s 11th Blue Jays prospect, Dahian Santos, is slated for the second tilt.
