PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — At least four spring training games have been canceled or rescheduled as a strong storm system rolls into Arizona on Wednesday.

The game between the San Fransico Giants and the Arizona Diamondbacks, scheduled for 1 p.m., was canceled as heavy rain entered the Phoenix area. Other spring training games that were scheduled at Scottsdale Stadium, Surprise Stadium and Hohokam Stadium in Mesa were also canceled due to weather.
