Grounds crew members work on the field during a rain delay of a game between the Mets and Marlins on Thursday in New York.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Yuri Gurriel had consecutive run-scoring hits that put the Marlins ahead 2-1 on Thursday, but umpires soon ordered the tarp on the field and the game was suspended by rain at 12:58 a.m. after a 3-hour, 17-minute delay.
The game would be resumed at the point of suspension if needed to determine a playoff berth. Under rule 7.02 , if the game isn’t needed to decide a postseason spot, the game would be called and the score would revert to a 1-0 Mets victory. With rain letting up slightly, the tarp had been removed around 12:20 a.m. Marlins manager Skip Schumaker became involved on the field in an animated conversation with umpire crew chief Alfonso Márquez, a member of the Mets grounds crew and senior vice president of ballpark operations Sue Lucchi.
