Sunday's Mets-Phillies game pushed back to 6:05 p.m. due to rain
The start time for Sunday's series finale between the Mets and Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Ballpark has been pushed back to 6:05 p.m. due to expected rain in the area.
Based on numerous forecasts, rain is anticipated to continue throughout the morning and early afternoon, so the initial 1:05 p.m. start time has been bumped back in an attempt to avoid a lengthy rain delay.
Philadelphia has taken the first three games of the series, with each of them being a one or two-run victory.
Right-hander Jose Butto (1-2, 3.09 ERA) will take the ball Sunday for New York looking to avoid the sweep against southpaw Christopher Sanchez (2-5, 3.55 ERA).
