After a three-hour wait, the Washington Nationals announced that the series finale with the Chicago Cubs has been postponed and rescheduled for Thursday, September 13th at 4:05 PM EDT in D.C.
Earlier this afternoon, with weather reports forecasting a day of heavy rain, the Washington Nationals released a statement explaining the situation to fans:
“We are expecting more inclement weather today. We are in communication with Major League Baseball and awaiting direction from the Commissioner’s Office regarding today’s game. Because the Cubs do not return to Nationals Park this season, all weather related decisions are in the hands of MLB.
