The Mets’ game against the Nationals in Washington on Friday night has been postponed because of inclement weather.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Saturday starting at 3:05 p.m. The second game, regularly scheduled for Saturday, will start 30-45 minutes after the conclusion of the first. Both games will be seven innings. Rick Porcello was supposed to take the mound for the Mets against Max Scherzer on Friday night.

The Mets are trying to keep their faint playoff hopes alive and now are faced with the possibility of needing to win twice in one day to do so.
