Arlington, TX -- (Sports Network) - Tuesday's game between the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers was postponed due to a tornado watch and projected poor conditions.

The contest will be made up as part of a doubleheader when the Mariners return to Arlington July 23-25.

"The safety of our customers is always our number one concern," said Rangers president Jeff Cogen. "Today's matinee had over 8,000 school children in attendance. The tornado watch and the forecast made this decision a prudent one."

Seattle has been followed by bad weather all month. The Mariners had an entire four-game series in Cleveland postponed because of snow earlier this month and also had a contest in Boston postponed because of inclement weather.

Jarrod Washburn was scheduled to pitch for Seattle on Tuesday, while Vicente Padilla was slated to take the mound for Texas.

The Rangers now head to Cleveland for two games, while the Mariners visit Oakland for a pair.
