Cubs-Giants Weather Delay: Live Update and Start Time from Wrigley Field

It sounds like the Chicago Cubs series against the San Francisco Giants will start a little bit delayed.

UnderDog MLB wrote (on 6/5):

“Game alert: Giants-Cubs will be delayed due to rain on Friday.”

The Cubs’ official Wrigley Field X account also made a post about the weather delay.

Edward Cabrera is set to make a start after being activated off the 15-day IL, and will oppose Giants’ starter Robbie Ray. It will be interesting, given how long the delay lasts, if both pitchers end up making their start.

The official game start was 1:20 p.m. CST, but that isn’t going to be the case today.

Weather Delay in Chicago

FanSided.com’s Chris Landers wrote (on 6/5): 

“A storm system is set to move through the Chicagoland area at around 2 p.m. ET/1 p.m. CT, which will force the tarp to be put on the field — and eventually taken off. All of that takes a bit of time, obviously, which could account for the preemptive delay. The good news is that the system isn’t a particularly big one, and should move through Chicago pretty quickly. The bad news is that it’s far from the only time rain will threaten Wrigley Field this weekend.”

The Chicago Cubs salvaged their series against the Athletics on Thursday evening with a walk-off by Pete Crow-Armstrong.

There isn’t rain expected to sweep through Chicago in the later hours of the day (spanning from 3-6 p.m.), so the game should be played today at least.
