No makeup date has been announced.
The air quality in NYC right now is among the worst in the world, and you can taste the air in certain parts of the metropolitan area. With wildfires raging across the land, and evacuations by provinces meaning the natural disaster is far from under control, folks across the northeastern United States are at the whims of the wind before being able to resume normal activity.
The New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies also canceled their games for this evening.
