Rain delays the start of the Mets and Yankees Subway Series finale
Summary

The start of the Subway Series finale between the Mets and the Yankees was pushed back due to morning rain in the Bronx. Grounds crews worked to clear the field following steady downpours, ultimately setting a new start time of 1:55 p.m. The Yankees enter the contest looking to clinch a playoff berth, a scenario contingent on a victory and a loss by the Blue Jays. The Mets hold a 3-2 lead in the current season series after a 12-2 victory on Saturday. Cam Schlittler is scheduled to pitch for the Yankees, while Christian Scott takes the mound for the Mets.
