Brewers-Cubs postponed because of inclement weather

CHICAGO -- The second game of the season between the Brewers and Cubs has been postponed because of inclement weather.

The National League Central teams were slated to play Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field, but there was a wintry mix of precipitation in the forecast. The game has been rescheduled for a split doubleheader on May 30.

The Cubs beat the Brewers 5-4 on Thursday's Opening Day. Ian Happ had three hits and two RBIs for Chicago, and Nico Hoerner hit a two-run drive for the majors' first homer of 2022.

With Friday's postponement, each team is expected to push their starting pitchers back one day. Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff and Cubs left-hander Justin Steele are slated to go on Saturday now.
