Play was suspended in Tuesday night's game between the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies in the middle of the eighth inning due to oncoming inclement weather at Citi Field. The Mets lead the Phillies 6-3, and would be declared the winner if play cannot be resumed Tuesday. A game is declared "official" after five innings.
PA announcer warning fans 60 mph winds headed toward Citi Field.
