Pirates, Cardinals to play doubleheaders to make up lost series

CINCINNATI -- As Ernie Banks might have said in 2020, let's play 1.56.

The Pirates and Cardinals will make up their postponed series from this week with a pair of doubleheaders, Major League Baseball announced Friday.

The first will come on Aug. 27 in St. Louis, which was a mutual off-day for the two clubs. The Pirates were originally scheduled to travel from Chicago to Milwaukee that day. The first game will start at 3:15 p.m. EDT.

The second will be on Sept. 18. That will be part of what is now a five-game series from Sept.
