The Cincinnati Reds and Washington Nationals are going to have to wait an extra day to get the regular season underway as their Opening Day game has been postponed until Friday because of impending inclement weather.

Max Scherzer was scheduled to get the start for the Nationals against Homer Bailey of the Reds, the two pitchers are expected to take the hill for the Friday game.

The Reds will also now send Sal Romano to the hill in place of Tyler Mahle on Sunday, Gio Gonzalez is still scheduled to start for the Nationals.

Friday was a scheduled off day for the two teams so a doubleheader will not be required to make up the game.
