Maeda to start day game (10:05 a.m. PT); Hill set for nightcap

CHICAGO -- Kenta Maeda will start the day game and Rich Hill the nightcap in Tuesday's split doubleheader, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Monday night's series opener with the Cubs was postponed.

After a nearly three-hour delay, the cause of the postponement was announced as inclement weather and a failure of some right-field lights at Wrigley Field.

The Cubs delayed the game at the start, despite dry conditions, because of forecasts for heavy rains, which lasted about 15 minutes. Long after the game was called, it still wasn't raining, but the lights weren't working.
