Cubs-Braves postponed by rain; no makeup date announced yet

ATLANTA -- The final game of a three-game series between the Chicago Cubs and the Atlanta Braves has been postponed because of rain.

The game will be made up Aug. 30.

Rain began falling a few minutes before Thursday's scheduled first pitch at 7:35 p.m. It was coming down heavily an hour later and was called at 9:56 p.m.

It marked the sixth postponement for the Cubs this season and their second against Atlanta, which won a makeup game 6-5 on Monday at Wrigley Field.

There was no immediate announcement on how the teams' pitching plans will be affected.
