The start of the weekend series between the Mets and Atlanta Braves at Citi Field will be delayed due to bad weather, the team announced.
Just under half an hour after Friday’s original 7:10 p.m. start time, the Mets announced first pitch would be at 8:30 p.m.
New York was set to have Nolan McLean take the mound. The young right-hander has pitched to a 3-4 record and a 3.98 ERA. McLean is coming off a strong start against the Padres, when he allowed just one run on three hits across six innings of work.
The Braves were set to have Spencer Strider take the mound. The flamethrowing right-hander is 4-01 with a 4.00 ERA this season. Strider allowed three runs on five hits across 5.0 innings against the Pirates his last time out, and has allowed at least three runs in each of his last four starts.
