A game between the New York Mets and Colorado Rockies scheduled for Tuesday night was postponed because of wet weather. The game set for Wednesday was moved back to 7:20 p.m. from 1:10 p.m. in anticipation of a late spring snowstorm. The Rockies moved the start of Monday night's game, a 4-2 loss, up three hours to avoid potential wet weather.

Mother Nature is throwing a curveball at the Colorado Rockies and New York Mets, forcing yet another schedule shakeup in Denver. Tuesday night's game between the two teams has been postponed due to persistent wet weather, with the matchup rescheduled for Thursday at 1:10 p.m.

This isn't the first time the series has been disrupted by the elements. In anticipation of a late spring snowstorm, Wednesday's game has been pushed back to a 7:20 p.m. start from its originally scheduled 1:10 p.m. The Rockies had already moved Monday night's contest—a 4-2 loss to the Mets—up by three hours to dodge incoming wet weather. By Tuesday night, rainy conditions in the Denver metro area are expected to transition into snow, with forecasts calling for up to eight inches of accumulation.

The postponement adds to a challenging stretch for the Rockies, who have dropped five straight games and six of their last seven. This slump comes on the heels of a promising series at Citi Field from April 24-26, where Colorado allowed only four runs in a three-game sweep of the Mets. Fans will be hoping the extra day off helps the Rockies reset and find their footing—both on the field and against the elements. For now, it's a waiting game, with baseball set to return to Coors Field on Thursday afternoon.
