The Saturday game between the New York Mets and the Cardinals in St. Louis was rained out Saturday, with the makeup scheduled for Sunday in a split doubleheader.
Game 1 will be played at 12:15 p.m. with the second game scheduled for 5:15 p.m.
Mets right-hander Blade Tidwell, making his major league debut, is expected to start Game 1 against righty Andre Pallante (2-2, 4.13 ERA).
The teams have not announced the pitching matchups for Game 2.
Tylor Megill (3-2, 1.74 ERA) was scheduled to start Saturday for New York against fellow right-hander Erick Fedde (1-3, 4.68) as the Mets look to win their 10th straight over the Cardinals dating back to last season.
Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Alvarez both enjoyed three-hit games on Friday in the Mets’ 9-3 romp over the Cardinals. Juan Soto, Pete Alonso and Jesse Winker had two hits each as part of a 17-hit attack by manager Carlos Mendoza’s National League East-leading squad.
