Yesterday, the Blue Jays picked up a riveting come-from-behind win over the New York Yankees.
They'll have to wait another day to build on that momentum, as the team's annouced early on Saturday morning that the game scheduled for later in the day had been postponed "due to a forecast of inclement weather."
It'll be made up in a single-admission double-header tomorrow.
Today’s Yankees-Blue Jays game (Saturday, April 26) has been rescheduled due to the forecast of sustained inclement weather and will be made up tomorrow, Sunday, April 27, as the second game of a single-admission doubleheader, which will begin with the first game at 1:35pm.… pic.twitter.com/Tpb5hSNSVe

Blue Jays vs. Yankees Rain Delay: Start Time, Full Details, Updates
The rain delay comes a day after the Blue Jays picked up what might be their biggest win of the season. Their offense, which has been mired in a cold streak for most of the last week, finally broke out with a three-run ninth inning against Yankees closer Devin Williams to pick up a come-from-behind win.
Alejandro Kirk gave the Blue Jays the lead with a one out double, while Addison Barger added on with an RBI single.

The Blue Jays initially had Kevin Gausman scheduled to pitch on Saturday, and he'll likely now get the ball for one of the games on Sunday. Chris Bassitt (Sunday's scheduled starter) will get the ball in the other game.
Max Fried was set to get the ball on Saturday but he'll go in one of the games of the doubleheader. Clarke Schmidt will go in the other.
Both teams will also be able to add a 27th man to their roster.
While a rain delay is never in a team's plans, it'll allow for both teams to get an extra rest day for their bullpen. José Berríos went 5 1/3 innings yesterday and four different Blue Jays appeared in relief, while Carlos Carrasco went five innings for the Yankees. Five different relievers made an apperance for New York.
Fried has been on different level this year, as he's 4-0 with a 1.42 ERA in 31 2/3 innings. He's destroyed the Blue Jays in his career, as he has sparkling 0.95 ERA in 19 innings against the Blue Jays.
