The Mets changed the start time of the set of Tuesday from 7:10 pm to 4:10 pm due to the early frigid climate.
Temperatures are expected to immerse in the 30s in Citi Field on Tuesday night, but they will still be in the mid -40 at the time of the new game.
When asked by Afterryy’s 2-0 victory over Miami if he had any opinion about the decision to make the change, Carlos Mendoza laughed and said: “I learned on the scoreboard [during the game]. ”
That game was played in Queens with a first launch temperature or 42 degrees.
Fans with a ticket for the game on Tuesday will receive a coupon for a ticket to any game of the regular season from Monday to Thursday in April and May in Citi Field, subject to availability.
The measure occurs after the Tigers made a similar decision with their series against the Yankees, moving three games scheduled for 6:10 pm until the afternoon.
