Saturday’s game between the Mets and the Tampa Bay Rays is in a rain delay and will not start on time.
The team announced a 5 p.m. start time nearly 45 minutes after the initial announcement. First pitch was originally scheduled for 4:10 p.m.
The Mets are looking to bounce back after the Rays used a six-run inning to defeat New York, 7-5, in Friday’s series opener. The loss snapped the Mets’ six-game winning streak and dropped their home record to 27-8.
Tylor Megill (5-4, 3.76 ERA) is the scheduled starter for the Mets, while the Rays will send out RHP Drew Rasmussen (5-4, 2.22 ERA).
Megill allowed two runs on three hits over five innings last time out on June 8 against the Rockies, lowering his ERA to 3.76 on the season.
