NEWSLETTER
With an early season rainout of an interleague game, the Cubs and Rangers had no choice but to schedule their makeup for the best common available date at Wrigley, which is tonight. So, although the Cubs just stay at home, the Rangers have to come up from Arlington, where they played yesterday, to Chicago tonight, and then head up to Milwaukee to play tomorrow. It could be a lot worse, obviously, but it’s still probably not much fun for them.
Game Info
Texas Rangers (20-11) at Chicago Cubs (11-20), 7:05 CT on WCIU.
