The three game series between the Cardinals and Cubs, which was originally scheduled for August 7th-9th at Busch Stadium, will be rescheduled as part of three doubleheaders at Wrigley Field.
Each doubleheader will consist of the originally scheduled game at Wrigley, as well as one make-up from last weekend’s scheduled series. Since the make-ups are Cardinals home games, the Cubs will be the home team for Game 1 of each doubleheader, while the Cardinals will be the home team for Game 2 of each doubleheader.
The first doubleheader will be played on Monday, August 17th beginning at 5:15 p.m. (ET)/4:15 p.m. (CT).
The second will be played on Wednesday, August 19th beginning at 2:20 p.m. (ET)/1:20 p.m. (CT).
The third will be played on Saturday, September 5th beginning at 5:15 p.m. (ET)/4:15 p.m. (CT).
