Major League Baseball postponed Thursday’s Cubs-Marlins playoff game because of impending rain.
Game 2, which was to feature Yu Darvish against the Marlins’ Sixto Sanchez, reportedly will be played at 1 p.m Friday. Game 3, if necessary, would be played Saturday with time to be determined.
The Marlins hold a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three wild card series after Wednesday’s 5-1 victory at Wrigley Field. Ian Happ’s solo home run in the fifth inning accounted for the Cubs’ only run in Wednesday’s loss. Kyle Hendricks and Jeremy Jeffress gave up three-run and two-run homers, respectively, in the seventh inning.
