NEW YORK – The scheduled game between the Cincinnati Reds and New York Mets was postponed because of rain Friday night.

It will be made up Saturday as part of a day-night doubleheader, with start times of 1:10 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Johan Santana is slated to pitch the opener for New York against Matt Belisle, with Mike Pelfrey getting the ball in Game 2 against Reds right-hander Bronson Arroyo.

Belisle and Pelfrey had been the scheduled starters Friday.

The game was called after a delay of about 55 minutes. Long before that, Cincinnati slugger Ken Griffey Jr. was pulled from the starting lineup because of an illness. He was to be replaced in right field by Ryan Freel.
