Possible severe thunderstorms are in the forecast for Chicago as the evening goes on, so the Cubs are being proactive:
Due to the forecast of inclement weather later in the evening, the #Cubs have shifted the start of tonight’s series finale against the Pirates to 6:35 p.m. CT (30 minutes earlier than originally scheduled).
Gates will open at their originally scheduled time of 5:05 p.m.— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) April 11, 2019This is a good idea and something they should consider in the future if a similar situation occurs.
