The interleague series opener between the Toronto Blue Jays and Washington Nationals on Monday has been postponed due to rain.
The teams will play a split-doubleheader Tuesday with the opener at 1:05 p.m.
Monday starters R.A. Dickey and Jordan Zimmermann will remain as Game 1 starters Tuesday, with Marco Estrada and Max Scherzer facing off in Game 2.
The NL East-leading Nationals went 18-9 in May, but finished the month with three straight losses at Cincinnati in part because of bullpen woes.
The Blue Jays enter the three-game series having lost two in a row.
