What is the story about?

The Mets announced Monday afternoon that the start times for their first two games against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday and Wednesday will be moved up from 7:10 p.m. ET to 4:10 p.m. ET, due to projected cold and windy conditions.

Fans with existing tickets for those games will have them honored at the new start time, and will receive an additional voucher for a future Mets game at Citi Field. The Mets also made a limited number of complimentary tickets available for both games — a supply which sold

out just under two and a half hours later.

The Mets will look to extend their three-game winning streak against Arizona, with Freddy Peralta matching up against Zac Gallen on Tuesday and David Peterson slated to take the mound on Wednesday against a yet-to-be-announced Arizona pitcher. The series finale is still scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET on Thursday night, with Nolan McLean and lefty Eduardo Rodriguez listed as the probable starting pitchers.
