Hours after the Yankees postponed their home opener on Monday because of an early-spring snowstorm, the Mets did the same with their 7 p.m. game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Concerned about the safety of their fans, employees and players, the Mets will make up Monday’s game as part of a single-admission doubleheader on July 9. The first game that day will be at 4 p.m.
The Mets, who opened the season at home last Thursday, went 2-1 in their season-opening series against the St. Louis Cardinals. They won two games behind their aces, Noah Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom, but stumbled, 5-1, on Sunday behind the starter Steven Matz.
