Saturday’s Mets-Cardinals game postponed, to be made up as Sunday doubleheader

Saturday's game between the Mets and Cardinals at Busch Stadium has been postponed due to rain.

Carlos Mendoza said earlier in the day that there may've been a window for them to get the game after a delay, but with thunderstorms in the forecast they decided it would be best to push things back.

The game will now be made up as part of a split-doubleheader on Sunday afternoon.

Game 1 is scheduled to start at 1:15 p.m. and Game 2 at 6:15 p.m.

The Mets haven't revealed their pitching plans just yet, but Tylor Megill was scheduled to take the mound during Saturday's game and Blade Tidwell was set to make his big-league debut on Sunday.

After Friday's victory, New York has won a franchise-record nine straight games against the Cardinals.
