Rain Delays a Showdown, Sets Stage for Brewers-Mets Doubleheader Drama
So here's the latest from the diamond — if you were looking forward to the Milwaukee Brewers kicking off their series against the New York Mets on July 1st, you’ll need to wait just a little longer. Thanks to some persistent evening rain in New York, the game was postponed, pushing us into a split doubleheader at Citi Field on July 2. And let me tell you — that sets us up for a full day of action-packed baseball with major playoff implications.
The first game tomorrow is set to begin at 1:10 p.m. Eastern, with a nightcap at 7:10 p.m. Eastern. And here’s the exciting part: Brewers fans get a double treat. First, we’ll see Freddy Peralta take the mound in the opener — he’s been solid this season, bringing consistency and experience. But the real buzz? That’s all about Jacob Misiorowski, the 23-year-old flamethrower who’s quickly becoming must-watch TV. He’s 3-0 with a jaw-dropping 1.13 ERA in just three starts, giving up only three hits in 16 innings. The last time we saw him, he outdueled Paul Skenes — a 2024 NL Rookie of the Year. This kid is electric.
As for the Mets, they’ll counter with Clay Holmes in Game 1, who quietly put together a strong June with a 2.93 ERA. No announcement yet on who’ll start Game 2 — it was supposed to be Blade Tidwell, but the Mets might play it by ear depending on how Game 1 unfolds.

What adds even more spice to this series is the history. These two teams met in the 2024 NL Wild Card Series, and that was pure drama. Milwaukee was this close to sending the Mets packing when Pete Alonso crushed a go-ahead homer off Devin Williams, saving New York’s season and launching them into a deep playoff run. There's unfinished business here — you can feel it in the air.
For fans holding tickets to the rained-out July 1 game, you can still use them for the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader. And if you can’t make it, there’s a voucher option for another Mets home game (just not against the Yankees or on a few other blackout dates). Check Mets.com/Rain for all the details.
Both games will be televised on FanDuel Sports Wisconsin and streamed online, with radio coverage on the Brewers Radio Network and Sirius XM. So whether you're tuning in from Milwaukee, New York, or anywhere in between, you won’t miss a pitch.
Get ready — this isn’t just a rain makeup. It’s a renewal of a rivalry, a proving ground for young talent, and potentially a playoff preview. Buckle up.
