ST. LOUIS — A downpour fell on Busch stadium Saturday afternoon, about two hours before the scheduled game time for the third game of a four-game series between the Cubs and Cardinals.
As the rain persisted and the radar showed continuing thunderstorms in the area, the teams announced a delay. They later set an estimated start time of 8 p.m.
Entering the day, the Cubs led the series 2-2. The Cubs’ Jameson Taillon and Cardinals’ Adam Wainwright were scheduled to start.
