The second game of a three-game series between the Cubs and Brewers at Wrigley Field was set to begin at 7:05 p.m. CT on Tuesday. But about 40 minutes before game time, the grounds crew rolled out the field tarp, and the video boards announced a weather delay.
Fans retreated under cover after lightning was reported in the area. And the left field board switched to the weather radar, showing a storm approaching.
UPDATE: As the rain let up, the Cubs announced the game was set to begin at 8:30 p.m.
