Both the Yankees and Mets' Tuesday night games were postponed due to rain.
No makeup date has been announced for the Yankees-Orioles game. The Mets-Rockies game, however, has been rescheduled as part of a single-admission doubleheader on Thursday starting at 12:10 p.m. According to the Mets' Twitter feed, Thursday's tickets will be used for admission.
A.J. Burnett was scheduled to make the start for the Yankees against Baltimore. Assuming Burnett, who is 2-0 this year with a 4.09 ERA, takes the hill Wednesday, he will be working on five days rest. His last start was April 7, when he went six innings and allowed two earned runs in a 4-3 win against Minnesota.
The postponement also means Orioles manager Buck Showalter's first trip of 2011 to New York will be pushed back another day. Showalter made noise this offseason when he took shots at Derek Jeter in an article in Men's Journal.
The Mets, meanwhile, were looking to bust out of a funk that saw them lose five of their last six games. The Mets lost the series opener against Colorado Monday night, 7-6.
