CHICAGO—An anticipated showdown between Jacob deGrom and Cole Hamels will be decided without them—and a day later, to boot.
The game between the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets was suspended with the score tied at 1 in the top of the 10th inning Tuesday night following a rain delay of 53 minutes.
The game will resume Wednesday at noon. The finale of the three-game series, scheduled for 1:20 p.m., will begin approximately 45 minutes after the conclusion of the suspended game.
Tuesday’s showdown featured the marquee matchup of deGrom and Hamels — the ERA leader in the majors versus one of the hottest pitchers in the league — and didn’t disappoint.
