CINCINNATI — The Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds tried to wait out the stormy weather to conclude their three-game series Wednesday.
Instead, after a 1-hour, 43-minute rain delay before a pitch was thrown, the series finale was postponed.
The game was rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader Sept. 1 at Great American Ball Park. Both games, scheduled to start at 12:10 p.m. and 5:40 p.m., respectively, will be nine innings. Major League Baseball used seven-inning doubleheader games during the 2020 and 2021 seasons.
