NEW YORK — The start of the Milwaukee Brewers series finale with the New York Mets on July 3 at Citi Field was delayed for rain but began at 6:45 CT. Southpaw José Quintana starts for the Brewers against his former club while David Peterson, another lefty, takes the ball for the Mets.

These teams split a doubleheader Wednesday with the Brewers taking Game 1, 7-2, and the Mets winning the nightcap, 7-3. Freddy Peralta and a couple of relievers held the Mets to two hits in the opener. Blade Tidwell surrendered all three runs but earned the win for New York. It was Tidwell’s first career win.
