BRIEF: Brewers-Cubs game postponed, no makeup date set

April 28--Wednesday night's game between the Brewers and Cubs at Wrigley Field was postponed because of rain.

No makeup date was announced.

Cubs ace Jake Arrieta was scheduled to pitch Wednesday night but will pitch in Thursday's series finale at 1:20 p.m. Fans are encouraged to retain their tickets from Wednesday night's postponed game to use for the rescheduled contest.

Arrieta is 15-0 with a 0.53 ERA in his past 16 regular season starts. The Cubs have won Arrieta's past 17 starts, equaling the franchise record held by Ed Reulbach (1906-07) and Pat Luby (1890-91), according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Arrieta is the first pitcher in franchise history to win 20 games during a 24-game stretch, passing the 19 wins by Rick Sutcliffe that ended in 1985.

The game was postponed after forecasters couldn't guarantee a window of clear weather.
