Mets and Brewers postponed because of rain, rescheduled for day=night
doubleheader on Wednesday
NEW YORK (AP) --- The opener of a three-game series between the Milwaukee
Brewers and New York Mets was postponed because of rain Tuesday and rescheduled
as a day-night doubleheader.
The series is to begin Wednesday with the makeup game at 1:10 p.m. and the
previously scheduled game at 7:10 p.m.
Freddy Peralta, who had been slated to start Tuesday, will start the day game
for the Brewers and hard-throwing rookie Jacob Misiorowski will start the night
game.
Clay Holmes was slated to pitch Tuesday for the Mets and will pitch one of the
games. Rookie Blade Tidwell had been listed as the Mets' probable starter for
the regularly scheduled game on Wednesday.
The Mets are 3-13 since June 12 when Kodai Senga injured a hamstring covering
first base against the Washington Nationals. New York returned home after
getting outscored 30-4 in a three-game sweep at Pittsburgh.
New York held a players-only meeting after Saturday's 9-2 loss, then lost
Sunday's seriess finale 12-1.
"I don't think anybody's prepared when it happens this quick," manager Carlos
Mendoza said before the game was postponed. "I think there's a combination of a
lot of things, injuries, but again I'm not going to sit here and make excuses.
Every team will go through it. We got to continue to find a way to continue to
find a way to get out of it, and we will because good players.
Milwaukee is 8-2 in it last 10 games and began Tuesday two games behind the
Cubs in the NL Central. The Brewers are close to getting Brandon Woodruff back
from right shoulder surgery.
Woodruff missed last season and could pitch this weekend in Miami, where he
made his last start of 2023.
