Smoke From Canadian Wildfires Forces Early Start for Mets-Phillies Game
MLB adjusted the series opener start time to avoid worsening air quality conditions caused by wildfire smoke drifting into the Northeast.
Canadian wildfires sent heavy smoke into the New York City and Philadelphia areas, creating poor air quality and elevated heat. MLB responded by moving Thursday's Mets-Phillies game up one hour. Players reported eye irritation and breathing difficulty, particularly in the later innings. Catcher Francisco Alvarez noted conditions were especially challenging behind the plate by game's end.
