The New York version of the Shohei Ohtani Show will have to wait.
The Mets and Dodgers were rained out Monday afternoon, the game called close to three hours before the would-be first pitch because of a series of thunderstorms expected to hit Citi Field and the surrounding area.
Instead, the teams will play a single-admission doubleheader starting at 4:10 p.m. Tuesday.
Tickets for Monday’s game will not be good for Tuesday.
With the tweak, the Mets will keep their starting pitching in line: Tylor Megill in the first game, Jose Quintana in the second.
