CHICAGO — The second game of the Mets' four-game series against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field has been postponed by rain.
Steady rain fell in Chicago on Friday morning, and it was expected to continue for much of the afternoon. The game was rescheduled for a split-doubleheader on Saturday.
The NL East-leading Mets rolled to an 8-0 victory over the lowly Cubs on Thursday night. Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo homered, and Carlos Carrasco pitched six effective innings in New York's third win in four games.
Chicago has dropped seven in a row.
