DENVER - The sun was out and the sky was clear around Coors Field. Bill Laimbeer Jersey . So this was one unusual postponement. The game between the Colorado Rockies and Cincinnati Reds was called off Saturday night because of a water main break just steps from the primary entrance to the ballpark. It will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Sunday. The first game will start at 4:10 p.m. EDT and the second at 9:10 p.m. The Rockies originally said the game would be delayed 30 minutes, and that city officials were on their way to fix the issue. There were pools of water visible on the street and sidewalk near Blake Street. Restrooms inside Coors Field were not working and there were only limited concessions as the water was turned off to the stadium. Yellow tape was put up to keep fans away from the street and police officers patrolled the area. About 45 minutes after the scheduled first pitch, the Denver Office of Emergency Management requested the game be postponed. "We were told no restrooms. No concessions. You have to have them," said fan Don Evans of Denver. "Important parts of a game. They told us theyd have everything fixed." Stacy Chesney, a spokesperson for Denver Water, said a pipe installed in the 1900s ruptured around 7:30 p.m. EDT. She also said Coors Field was the only customer in the area without water. "Were working as fast as possible to get it repaired," Chesney said. "Were really sorry for the inconvenience to the fans." All this with the sun out and the temperature in the high 80s. "I wasnt sure what was happening," said Reds manager Bryan Price, who met with Rockies skipper Walt Weiss at home plate for several minutes before the game was scrubbed. "There was water on the road, and next thing they are calling the game." Rockies second baseman Josh Rutledge was just as stunned. He said it reminded him of a time when he was with the Tri City Dust Devils in Pasco, Washington, during rookie ball and a fire in the area interrupted a contest. "But I dont know if the game got cancelled," Rutledge said. "You cant make this stuff up." This has simply been that kind of season for the Rockies. Theyre last in the National League and in danger of losing 100 games for the first time in their history. "Whatever can happen will this year," Ryan Lewis of Billings, Montana, said. "Id be surprised if we didnt have a hurricane." The impromptu postponement did help out a few banged-up sluggers. Reds first baseman Todd Frazier was going to take a second night off with a strained lower back. For the Rockies, first baseman Justin Morneau was a late scratch with a stiff neck. Honouring HELTON The Rockies will retire Todd Heltons No. 17 in a ceremony Sunday. The longtime first baseman wrapped up his 17-year career in the Mile High City last season, departing as the franchises career leader in games played (2,247), hits (2,519), doubles (592), homers (369) and RBIs (1,406). Helton will be the centre of attention, something he never really craved during his career. "Hes going to have all the eyes on him," said outfielder Michael Cuddyer, who was activated off the disabled list Saturday after missing more than two months. "I know hes going to feel awkward, but he deserves to feel awkward." Cuddyer firmly believes Helton belongs in Cooperstown. "Hes a Hall of Famer," Cuddyer said. "Id put his numbers up to anybodys. Hes up there with them." TRAINERS ROOM Reds: INF Brandon Phillips (left thumb) was 0 for 2 with a walk and played seven innings during a rehab game with Triple-A Louisville on Friday. Price wants to see how the rest of the weekend goes for Phillips before making any decisions on when he might rejoin the team. "Were anxious to have him back," Price said. Rockies: LHP Franklin Morales missed his start Friday when his wife went into labour. Morales proudly announced his wife had a girl they named Mariana Elena. She was born at 5:37 p.m. Friday and weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces. UP NEXT Reds: RHP Mat Latos (4-3) will start the first game and RHP Dylan Axelrod the second. Axelrod is taking the place of Homer Bailey, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a strained right elbow. Rockies: RHP Jordan Lyles (6-1) gets the ball in the afternoon contest and LHP Yohan Flande (0-5) will go that night. Flande will try for his first major league win in his eighth start.

Defying heavy rain, two race stoppages and five separate Safety Car deployments, Hamilton mastered the conditions to deliver an inch-perfect masterclass in the wet and finally break his Interlagos duck.This is the race I have been dreaming of winning since I was very, very young, said Hamilton. It was a hard, hard grand prix to win and today was one of the most difficult in terms of rain and aquaplaning. But Rosberg will still clinch the title in the season-concluding Abu Dhabi GP in two weeks time if he finishes on the podium after a strategic mistake by Red Bull enabled the German to finish second behind Hamilton in Sao Paulo.WATCH: What a gentleman, Lewis!Max Verstappen had charged past the world championship leader with a bold move around the outside of Turn Three but then tumbled down the field after making two extra pit-stops when Red Bull mistakenly gambled on intermediate tyres in the hope that conditions would improve. After falling out of the top 10 with just 12 laps left, the Dutchman then produced a series of stunning overtakes to finish in third and deservedly claim the Driver of the Day award. Red Bulls Max Verstappen was voted driver of the day, and after this display in the Brazilian Grand Prix, you can see why. That was one of the best drives Ive seen in Formula 1, said Red Bull boss Christian Horner. His recovery was amazing. Verstappen drive one of the best everAs chaos and crashes erupted behind him, Hamilton led every lap with a wheel-perfect performance in treacherous conditions which saw Kimi Raikkonen crash out just seconds after the race had restarted and Romain Grosjean hit the wall even before the Grand Prix had started. A few seconds after the Brazilian GPP restart, Kimi Raikkonen crashed on the pit straight to bring out the red flag Hamiltons astonishing pace superiority over Rosberg was such that, had the race run to its entirety and his leads of various lengths not been regularly wiped out by the plethora of Safety Car deployments and race stoppages, he was on course to beat his team-mate to the chequered flag by over a minute. Jose Calderon Pistons Jersey. Between lap 29, when the race resumed following Raikkonens crash and lap 49, when Felipe Massa hit the wall to bring his final race in Brazil to a premature end, Hamilton had streaked 23 seconds clear of the sister Silver Arrows. During this period Rosberg nearly spun, but just managed to keep his Mercedes pointing the right way after hitting a puddle exiting the final corner. Hamilton rues Rosbergs unbelievable luckBut, heading to Abu Dhabi with a 12-point buffer and only requiring third place to clinch the title, Rosberg remains the heavy favourite to end the year as the drivers champion.I can live with a second place, the German acknowledged. It worked out fine.Updated Drivers StandingsFurther down the field, Toro Rossos Carlos Sainz drove doggedly for sixth behind Sergio Perez and Sebastian Vettel while Saubers Felipe Nasr finished in ninth after a winning a race-long battle with Esteban Ocon, who eventually finished 12th. Its a result which means the Swiss outfit have climbed above Manor in the Constructors Championship. For both teams, the financial repercussions could be enormous.
