Weather heaps extra business on Red Sox, Mets

The Boston Red Sox and the visiting New York Mets will have a heavier workload than originally expected Saturday, when the teams must complete a game that was suspended in the fourth inning Friday before the regularly scheduled night game. The suspended game will resume at 2:10 p.m. local time with the Mets leading 4-3 and the Red Sox batting with one out in the fourth. The second contest is scheduled to begin at 7:10 p.m. Each team will be allowed a 27th player on the roster for Saturday's second contest, but the extra player can't be used in the suspended game. Right-hander Max Scherzer (8-3, 3.99 ERA) is scheduled to face lefty James Paxton (5-2, 3.51) in the second game.
