Overview

  • A rainout on July 1 postponed the Brewers-Mets opener at Citi Field and set a split-admission doubleheader for July 2 at 1:10 p.m. ET and 7:10 p.m. ET
  • Paid ticket holders for the original July 1 game can use their tickets for the first contest or exchange them for digital vouchers valid at comparable 2025 home games
  • New York leads the NL Wild Card standings at 48-37 with Milwaukee one game back at 47-37, heightening the importance of each head-to-head result
  • The extra off day grants the Mets’ bullpen much-needed rest after deploying 13 different relievers in a single week under heavy rotation strain
  • Sean Manaea is slated for what the Mets hope will be his final rehab start in Double-A Binghamton and Kodai Senga could begin a minor-league assignment next week if he remains symptom-free
