Sunday wound up being a short day at Fenway Park for the Red Sox and Marlins.

The scheduled finale of the three-game series was postponed to Monday, June 7, at 5:10 p.m. ET.

The postponement is due to rain in the Boston area that wouldn’t let up on Sunday and was forecasted to continue for the remainder of the day. The decision to postpone the game was made within a half-hour of Sunday’s scheduled first pitch of 1:10 p.m.

Tickets for Sunday’s game will be good for admission to the rescheduled contest on June 7.

For the Red Sox, it simply means their next homestand starts one day earlier than originally planned.

Lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, who would have started on Sunday, will instead be on the mound when the Sox open a four-game series in Houston on Monday.

Garrett Richards, Nick Pivetta and Martín Pérez will pitch the other three games in that showdown between two of the top teams in the American League.

Nathan Eovaldi, who was originally scheduled to start the finale in Houston, will instead open up the first Red Sox-Yankees showdown of 2021 when he pitches Friday night in the Bronx.

For the Marlins, the reschedule date wasn’t quite as seamless.

Instead of getting a day of rest at home prior to their next homestand, the Fish will have to make a pit stop at Fenway to cap off the road swing that takes them from Boston to Buffalo to Pittsburgh and -- now -- back to Boston.

“It was not a date that we really wanted,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “Obviously, it wasn’t in our control. ... But we’ll do what we need to do. We’ve got to fly back in and play, and we’ll be ready for that.”

Marlins Sunday starter Sandy Alcantara gets pushed to Tuesday’s series opener in Buffalo against the Blue Jays, and so Miami will no longer need a spot starter on this road trip.
