CHICAGO _ The Miami Marlins will have to wait at least another day to potentially punch their ticket to the National League Division Series.
Game 2 of the best-of-3 wild-card series between the Marlins and Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field has been postponed because of inclement weather throughout the day Thursday in Chicago.
The Marlins won the first game of the series, 5-1, on Wednesday and need to win just one of the final two in order to advance to the next round of the playoffs.
Game 2 is now slated to take place at 2 p.m. Friday, with an if-necessary Game 3 being played on Saturday at a to-be-determined time. However, if the Marlins and Cubs are the only game being played on Friday, the game will start at 7 p.m.
The Marlins, for now, plan to keep their rotation in the order they set for the series. That means Sixto Sanchez would pitch on Friday and Pablo Lopez would start the if-necessary game on Saturday.
The Marlins took batting practice underneath an overcast sky about an hour before first pitch was supposed to happen Thursday.
