The Mets announced that they have postponed Saturday's and Sunday's games against the Atlanta Braves because of Hurricane Irene, which is scheduled to hit the metropolitan area Saturday night and Sunday.
The games will be made up as part of a single-admission doubleheader Sept. 8, starting at 4:10 p.m.
