Saturday's Mets-Nationals game moved up to avoid inclement weather
The Nationals announced that the start time for Saturday's game against the Mets has been moved up as a precautionary measure to avoid inclement weather in the area.
The Washington Nationals have adjusted the start time for their Saturday game against the New York Mets due to an incoming nor'easter forecast. The game, originally scheduled to begin at 4:05 p.m., will now kick off at 12:35 p.m. The matchup features Jonah Tong from the Mets (2-2, 4.21 ERA) taking on Connelly Early from the Nationals (7-5, 3.44 ERA).
It remains uncertain whether Sunday's season finale will also be impacted by the weather, but the current game remains set for 3:05 p.m. This series between the NL East rivals holds significance for draft positioning, with the Mets currently trailing the Nationals by two games. A Mets victory would prevent them from finishing at the bottom of the division and secure them a higher pick in the upcoming MLB Draft.
