Context:

The scheduled Saturday game between the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets was postponed due to rain and rescheduled as a split doubleheader for Sunday. The Mets, who have a nine-game winning streak against the Cardinals, announced that prospect Blade Tidwell will make his major league debut in the first game against St. Louis pitcher Erick Fedde. In the second game, Cardinals' Andre Pallante will face Mets' Tylor Megill, who originally was set to pitch on Saturday. The Cardinals bolstered their bullpen by recalling Michael McGreevy from Triple-A Memphis due to previous taxing games and weather delays. To accommodate McGreevy, the Cardinals sent reliever Roddery Muñoz back to Memphis.
