PITTSBURGH — The Cubs and Pirates lost a wasted evening and a scheduled day off. Zach Duke lost a chance to match up against Stephen Strasburg.

The Cubs-Pirates game finally was postponed due to unplayable field conditions along the warning track after a rain delay of 3 hours, 12 minutes Wednesday night.

Heavy rain that fell for about two hours overwhelmed PNC Park's drainage system, causing standing water more than a foot deep to accumulate on the outfield track from foul line to foul line.

The game will be made up at 12:35 p.m. Monday. Both teams are off today, but the Pirates already had played the maximum 20 games in 20 days allowed under MLB's labor agreement.
