New York Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman unhappy game started despite rain

NEW YORK -- Marcus Stroman was unhappy that the New York Mets began Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins in a steady rain, which interrupted his outing after nine pitches.

The game began at 1:10 p.m. and was stopped by plate umpire D.J. Reyburn after 7 minutes.

Home teams decide whether to start games. Once a game has begun, umpires decide whether to stop play because of bad weather.

Stroman took to Twitter during the rain delay to express his displeasure.
