NEW YORK (AP) — A game between the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies has been postponed due to rain and rescheduled as part of a doubleheader for Tuesday.
The decision was announced about two hours before Monday’s 7:10 p.m. scheduled first pitch.

The single-admission doubleheader will start at 4:10 p.m. Tuesday, and the second game will start about 30 minutes after the first game ends.
The rainout follows a miscue by the Mets ballpark operations staff, which pushed ahead with a game against Miami on Sunday afternoon, only to have umpires waive the teams off the field seven minutes later — home teams make decisions regarding delays before games start, but once they’re under way, that power transfers to the umpires.
