Rain postponed the scheduled afternoon game between the visiting Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday following a one hour, 44-minute delay.

The National League Central rivals split the first two in a three-game series. Cincinnati recorded a 7-6 win on Monday before Chicago responded with a 12-5 decision the following night.

The Reds will return to action on Thursday when they open a three-game series at Philadelphia with the Phillies.

The Cubs are off before opening a three-game series at Wrigley Field with the Texas Rangers on Friday.
