Strong winds blowing in for Dodgers-Nats Game 2
- Updated: October 9, 2016
WASHINGTON — About two hours before the first pitch of National League Division Series Game 2 on Sunday (FS1, 1 p.m. ET/10 PT), Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley stood on the field discussing the weather. There was a stiff breeze blowing directly in from home plate, knocking down what fly balls the Dodgers served up during batting practice. Utley pointed out to the flags beyond left field, which were unrelentingly flapping.
A day after Major League Baseball postponed Game 2 due to rain, another element — wind — became a factor. The National Weather Service measured wind speed at nearby Washington/Reagan National Airport blowing north to south at 29 mph, with gusts up to 38 mph.
