NEW YORK -- Baseball openers in New York and Philadelphia were postponed a day until Friday because of rainy forecasts in both cities.
Pete Alonso and the New York Mets were scheduled to host the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday afternoon -- a day featuring the first full slate of major league games this year -- but with wet weather expected in Queens, the game was pushed back to Friday at 1:40 p.m. ET.
Minutes later, the Philadelphia Phillies announced their sold-out opener against the NL East rival Atlanta Braves was moved from Thursday at 3:05 p.
