Tonight’s game between the New York Mets and Washington Nationals has been postponed due to rain. The two teams will play a day-night doubleheader on Saturday.

The team announced that Noah Syndergaard will start the first game at 1:10 PM while Matt Harvey will pitch game two at 7:10 PM.

Sandy Alderson told reporters that if all three games are unable to be played this weekend, it’s unclear whether the Mets would have to play Monday to decide home field advantage for the NLDS against the Dodgers.

The Mets will allow fans holding a paid ticket for tonight’s game marked “Friday, October 2, 2015 – Game 79”, who do not use their ticket for admission to Saturday afternoon’s game to redeem their unused ticket for a complimentary ticket to any April 2016 home game excluding Opening Day, subject to availability.
