ST. LOUIS (AP) The Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals are set to play back-to-back doubleheaders this weekend after Friday night’s game was postponed because of rain.
Heavy rain forced the series opener to be called off.
The Reds and NL Central-leading Cardinals will now play day-night doubleheaders on both Saturday and Sunday.
A rainout in St. Louis in early June forced a makeup as part of Saturday’s twinbill.
The Cardinals lead the Chicago Cubs by one game in the division.
Saturday’s first game at Busch Stadium will feature Dakota Hudson starting for St. Louis, and Cincinnati will go with Trevor Bauer. The first pitch is scheduled for 12:15. The broadcast begins at 11:20 with Ameren Total Access.
Michael Wacha will start for the Cardinals in the nightcap, and Sonny Gray will get the nod for the Reds. The first pitch is set for 6:15. The broadcast starts at 5:20.
Both games can be heard on KTLO-AM.
