The scheduled game Saturday between the Chicago Cubs
and Atlanta Braves has been postponed because of rain.
Rain was forecast all day in Chicago. The game was called about two
hours before the scheduled first pitch at 1:20 p.m. No makeup date
was immediately announced.
John Lackey had been scheduled to start for the Cubs, while the
Braves planned to send Julio Teheran to the mound.
Lackey will pitch for the Cubs today.
At 17-5, the Cubs have the best record in baseball. They are on
their best 22-game start since the 1907 team was 18-4.
The Braves are 5-18 after losing to the Cubs 6-1 on Friday.
