The Mets just can't get any good luck with the weather this season, as their Thursday matinee against the Philadelphia Phillies was postponed on Thursday due to rain. 

The team announced that a single-admission June 25 doubleheader will take place, starting at 4:10 p.m. 

It's the sixth game this season that the Mets had to postpone, including one earlier this series against Philly. A Monday postponement due to inclement weather forced a Tuesday doubleheader. 

The Mets have four doubleheaders on their schedule now -- two against the Washington Nationals, one against the Miami Marlins and one against the Phillies. 

Jacob deGrom was set to make his third start of the season on Thursday. Instead, he'll make that start on Friday when the Mets begin a weekend series on the road against the Colorado Rockies. After that, Joey Lucchesi gets Saturday's start followed by Marcus Stroman, who pitched in the Tuesday doubleheader, on Sunday.
