Scott Clarke / ESPN Images(PITTSBURGH) — Thursday night’s game between the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates ended in a 1-1 tie.
The contest was called in the sixth inning due to heavy rain.
The clubs aren’t scheduled to meeting again this year. Since the Pirates are out of postseason contention and the Cubs have the league’s best record, officials decided rescheduling the matchup would not be necessary since it would not affect playoff positioning.
