New York Mets Postpone Game Against Phillies

New York Mets fans will have to wait an extra day to see their team take on the Philadelphia Phillies as the two teams postpone their Friday game. The Mets, who won the series opener 6-4 on Thursday, will resume play on Saturday at 7:15 p.m. ET. Manager Buck Showalter will look to his pitching staff to bounce back after a tough outing. And the Phillies will try to even the series with their ace pitcher on the mound. But the reason for the postponement is not due to weather or injury, rather the World Cup match between Brazil and Haiti at Lincoln Financial Field. The city of Philadelphia decided to keep things calm by not playing a baseball game on Friday. So the Mets and Phillies will play on Saturday and Sunday, with the final game of the series airing on Sunday Night Baseball at 7:20 p.m. ET. The Mets' bullpen will be key in the remaining games, with pitchers like Edwin Diaz looking to shut down the Phillies' offense. The series will conclude on Sunday, with the Mets looking to take the series win. The Mets' offense, led by players like Pete Alonso, will look to capitalize on the Phillies' pitching staff.
