Two games set for Major League Baseball’s opening day have already been postponed.
The New York Mets were scheduled to host the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday afternoon in a matchup of National League teams. With wet weather expected in Queens, however, the Mets announced Wednesday that the game was pushed back to 1:40 p.m. Friday.
Minutes later, the Philadelphia Phillies announced their sold-out opener against the visiting Atlanta Braves, the six-time reigning NL East champions, was moved from 3:05 p.m. Thursday to Friday at the same time due to anticipated rain.
MLB’s 2024 regular season actually opened last week when the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, NL West teams, had a two-game series in Seoul, South Korea. Thursday, though, is the big day, with 13 games still on tap even after the postponements.
First up is the Los Angeles Angels visiting the Baltimore Orioles at 3:05 p.m.
