The Cubs vs Rockies game on Monday evening has been postponed due to rain. There will be a doubleheader on Tuesday at 1:10 CT and then the regularly scheduled night game at 7:40 CT. Jake Arrieta will start the first game and John Lackey in the second game.

The Denver area was hit with a massive hail storm earlier in the day, and it has continued to rain.

On the bright side, this could help the Cubs with rest after playing an 18 inning marathon against the Yankees on Sunday night.
