PITTSBURGH — When it rains it pours.
Already in the midst of an eight-day stretch that includes three scheduled off days, the Cincinnati Reds just got another day “off” Saturday, thanks to a weather postponement in Pittsburgh.
But it cost them a long day of baseball Sunday, when they’re now scheduled to play the Pittsburgh Pirates in a split doubleheader, with the 6:05 p.m. makeup game following the regularly scheduled 1:35 p.m. game.
They are the teams' final meetings of the season. The Pirates lead the season series 5-3.
