NEW YORK -- The game between the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets scheduled for Saturday has been postponed because of rain.
It will be made up Aug. 12 as part of a split doubleheader at Citi Field, with the opener starting at 1:10 p.m. ET and the nightcap at 7:15 p.m.
The postponement until August means Mets ace Max Scherzer won't be eligible to pitch in this series against the National League East rival Braves. The three-time Cy Young Award winner is serving a 10-game suspension imposed by Major League Baseball following his ejection for having an illegal substance on his hand while pitching in an April 19 game at Dodger Stadium.
