NEW YORK -- Saturday’s game between the Rockies and Mets has been postponed because of inclement weather.
The game will be made up as part of a single-admission doubleheader at Citi Field on Sunday, which will begin at 11:40 a.m. MT. Game 2 will begin approximately 30-45 minutes after the conclusion of Game 1.
Lefty Jose Quintana will start Game 1, followed by a combination of an opener and Chase Dollander in Game 2.
Tickets for Saturday’s game will not be valid for admission to the makeup doubleheader.
The Rockies hope to continue their winning ways after beating the Mets, 4-3, on Friday. Right-hander Michael Lorenzen became the first Rockies starter this season to throw seven innings while allowing just one run on seven hits.
The length Lorenzen gave Colorado was needed because the bullpen, as Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer put it, “was in shambles.” The relievers were overworked, and the team hasn’t had a day off since April 13. The rainout on Saturday should help the bullpen.
