MLB: Philadelphia at N.Y. Mets, ppd., rain

New York -- Heavy rains caused by tropical storm Hanna forced the Mets and Philadelphia to postpone their baseball game Saturday at New York's Shea Stadium.

A makeup contest, weather-permitting, will be Sunday afternoon when the top two teams in the National League East Division will try to play a day/night doubleheader.

The likely starters for the first game are Saturday's scheduled starters -- veteran left-hander Jamie Moyer of Philadelphia and Mets' right-hander Pedro Martinez.

Philadelphia's Cole Hamels is to face Mets southpaw Johan Santana in the nightcap.

The Phillies beat the Mets 3-0 in Friday's opener of the three-game series to pull within two games of New York for first place in the division.
