METS-YANKEES RAINED OUT

Tonight’s Subway Series opener between the Mets and Yankees at Yankee Stadium has been postponed due to rain.

No makeup date has been announced.

The Yankees say the game will not be made up on any of the next three days (Saturday, Sunday or Monday).

Johan Santana, who had been scheduled to start for the Mets, was pushed back to Saturday and will face Darrell Rasner.

The Yankees say fans holding paid tickets for this postponed game may use them for the rescheduled game between the Yankees and Mets (to be played at a date to be determined), or exchange their paid tickets for any regular-season game at Yankee Stadium within 12 months of the postponed game (subject to availability).

The team says due to limited ticket availability for Yankees home games during the 2008 season, fans are highly encouraged to use their tickets for the rescheduled date.
