Rockies and Mets Game Moved: Snow and Rain Play Spoilsport

The Mets and Rockies won’t face off under the lights in Denver as planned. Tuesday night’s game got the wet weather cancellation stamp. Fans will now get a doubleheader of sorts, with the missed match rescheduled for Thursday afternoon and Wednesday’s game pushed to a later slot. Colorado is no stranger to wild weather swings in spring. Heavy rain on Tuesday is expected to flip to snow by nightfall. Forecasters warn of up to eight inches piling up in the city. That’s enough to turn the ballpark into a winter wonderland—or a mud pit if the snow melts fast.The Rockies are already struggling. They’ve lost five games in a row, and six out of seven since they shut down the Mets’ batting lineup in New York last month. That three-game sweep seems like a distant memory now. Their pitching staff has been shaky, and the offense isn’t helping much either. Oddly, the team tried to outsmart the weather before. Monday night’s game started three hours early to dodge potential rain. It didn’t work out—the Rockies still lost, 4-2. Now they’re stuck playing catch-up against both their opponents and the unpredictable Denver climate.
