Cubs-Orioles postponed by rain in Baltimore originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
BALTIMORE -- Heavy rain postponed Wednesday's finale of a two-game series between the Cubs and Orioles at Camden Yards.
The teams announced they'll make up the game Aug. 18 at 2:05 p.m. (CT), the day after the Cubs conclude a series in nearby Washington.
Marcus Stroman was scheduled to start Wednesday for the Cubs, who have a scheduled off day Thursday before opening a three-game series at Yankee Stadium on Friday night.
Instead of pushing Stroman to Friday in New York, the Cubs plan to activate left-hander Wade Miley (shoulder strain) from the injured list to start that series opener, with rookie right-hander Matt Swarmer starting Saturday. The Cubs have not announced a probable starter for Sunday.
The Orioles beat the Cubs 9-3 in Tuesdays opener of the interleague series.
