WASHINGTON — The game between the New York Mets and Washington Nationals was suspended with the Nationals leading 1-0 in the third inning after a rain delay of 3 hours, 56 minutes on Saturday.
The game will be continued as part of a split-admission doubleheader on Sunday.
A light rain was falling when the game began at 4:05 p.m. EDT and soon intensified, but play continued. The Mets had runners on second and third after a one-out double by Michael Perez when the game was halted.
After the rain stopped, the tarp came off the field at around 7 p.
