The Boston Red Sox and the visiting New York Mets will have a heavier workload than originally expected Saturday, when the teams must complete a game that was suspended in the fourth inning Friday before the regularly scheduled night game.
The suspended game will resume at 2:10 p.m. local time with the Mets leading 4-3 and the Red Sox batting with one out in the fourth. The second contest is scheduled to begin at 7:10 p.m. Each team will be allowed a 27th player on the roster for Saturday's second contest, but the extra player can't be used in the suspended game.
"We had plans if it restarted, and we'll see if that's going to be the same way," Mets manager Buck Showalter said Friday night. "I'm not going to go over there and wake Max up and tell him he's pitching in the 2:10 game, I can tell you that." Scherzer may have enhanced his trade value in his last outing, when he limited the visiting Dodgers to one hit in seven shutout innings Sunday to help the Mets pull out a 2-1 victory in 10 innings.
Paxton will be trying to rebound from what may have been his worst performance of the year. He allowed a season-high six runs on three hits and three walks in three innings Saturday during a 10-4 loss to the host Chicago Cubs. He struck out four.
