CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Reds have postponed their Opening Day game against the Washington Nationals until Friday at 4:10 p.m. ET, the team announced.
The Reds were scheduled to start the season on Thursday but are moving the opener back a day because of inclement weather.
The pitching matchups remain the same. Max Scherzer (16-6) faces Homer Bailey (6-9), who is making his first Opening Day start for the Reds.
The Reds' annual Opening Day parade will still be held on Monday. The parade was pushed back this year because of the early start of the season and conflicts with local businesses.
