Marlins vs. Cubs Game 2 Postponed to Friday Because of Inclement Weather

Game 2 of the National League Wild Card Series between the Miami Marlins and Chicago Cubs set to be played Thursday at Wrigley Field has been postponed because of inclement weather, the host team announced.

The game will be made up Friday at 2:08 p.m. ET, and if necessary, Game 3 will be played Saturday.

The forecast in Chicago calls for a chance of showers that's expected to intensify at 5 p.m. CT, according to the Weather Channel.

With the remaining three National League series underway Thursday, the Marlins and Cubs could be the only teams playing on that side of the bracket Friday. If they are the only game scheduled, first pitch will be at 7:08 p.m. ET.

At the time of the cancellation, the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds were scoreless in a win-or-go-home game for the Reds. The St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres are scheduled for 7:08 p.m. ET Thursday, with the Cardinals leading 1-0, and the Los Angeles Dodgers lead the Milwaukee Brewers, with Game 2 scheduled for 10:08 p.m. ET on Thursday. 

The winner of the Cubs-Marlins series will face the Atlanta-Cincinnati winner in division series, with the games scheduled for Oct. 6-10 in Houston.

In the American League, the New York Yankees will play the Tampa Bay Rays in San Diego, while the Houston Astros await their division-round opponent from the Oakland A's-Chicago White Sox series that will be decided Thursday afternoon.
