Two MLB season openers in New York and Philadelphia were postponed until Friday due to rainy forecasts on the East Coast, teams announced Wednesday.
The Milwaukee Brewers were scheduled to visit the New York Mets in Queens Thursday. The teams will instead meet a day later at 1:40 p.m. ET. Shortly after the Mets and Brewers confirmed the news, the Philadelphia Phillies informed fans that their home opener against the Atlanta Braves was pushed from Thursday to Friday at 3:05 p.m.
It's been a highly anticipated matchup, pitting the Braves against the club that eliminated them from the postseason last year for the second consecutive campaign.
