Start of Monday's Mets-Rockies series opener bumped up due to potential inclement weather

The start of Monday's Mets -Rockies game has been bumped up due to potential inclement weather.

First pitch is now scheduled for 5:40 p.m. ET.

New York will be looking to keep the good times rolling after their series win over the Angels.

Manager Carlos Mendozaannounced following Sunday's victory that lefty David Peterson will pitch behind an opener.

There had been suggestions that would be Tobias Myers , but his availability is unknown after throwing 2.2 innings during Saturday night's loss.

Whoever it is will be countered by right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano , who has pitched to a strong 2.84 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over his first six starts this season.

Colorado has lost four in a row, and are coming off a sweep at the hands of the red-hot Braves.
