Sunday afternoon's game between the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros has been delayed by weather around Wrigley Field, with the start time being pushed back to 2:15 p.m. CDT. While things were clear in the morning, storm clouds rolled in during the early afternoon to force a game delay.
This afternoon's rain-delayed #Cubs vs. #Astros game is expected to begin around 2:15 p.m. CDT.

Travis Wood looks to continue his recent streak of success with the team, so hopefully the weather hasn't knocked him out of rhythm. Over eight starts this year, Wood has a 3.54 ERA with 35 strikeouts and 20 walks in 48.1 innings of work. A win on Sunday would give the Cubs a nice sweep over Houston at Wrigley.
