GOODYEAR, AZ (AZFamily) \u2014 It\u2019s been unseasonably hot, and with nearly a week of First Alert Weather Days<\/a> in the forecast, one West Valley ballpark is delaying start times because of forecast high temperatures. <\/p>\n

Goodyear Ballpark<\/a> announced that two games for next Friday and Saturday will be moved to \u201censure a safer and more comfortable experience for fans, players and staff.\u201d <\/p>\n
