The middle game of the three-game series was postponed about two hours before the scheduled first pitch. There was a forecast for intense thunderstorms at approximately 6 p.m. and extending for several hours into the evening.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said David Peterson, Wednesday’s scheduled starter, would pitch the 12:05 p.m. opener on Thursday and that there was the potential of a bullpen game in the nightcap, which had a 5:05 p.m. start. The Orioles planned to sent Charlie Morton (5-7, 5.47 ERA) in the first game and Tomoyuki Sugano (6-5, 4.44) in the second, according to the team’s X account.

New York (53-39) entered Wednesday’s action tied with Philadelphia atop the NL East. Baltimore (40-50) was last in the AL East, 12 1/2 games behind division-leading Toronto.
