After a long and frustrating Friday night at the ballpark that featured fewer than two innings of baseball, the Nationals and Cubs are going to spend a long Saturday afternoon and night at the ballpark, hopefully playing 18 innings of baseball.
Everything that happened last night is wiped out, officially speaking. They'll start from scratch at 3:05 p.m. today, with Max Scherzer and Jaime Garcia on the mound for their respective clubs. Cole Hamels will pitch the nightcap for Chicago; the Nats haven't announced their starter yet, but it'll probably be Austin Voth or Jefry Rodriguez.
Here are the particular details you need to know: There will be 45 minutes between games. The Jayson Werth Ring of Honor Ceremony will be held between games. Tickets for tonight's originally scheduled 7:05 p.m. game are good for any and all activities taking place at Nationals Park today. Tickets for last night's game must be exchanged for a future game.
Update: Hey, you'll never believe it, but the start of today's first game has been delayed by rain! It doesn't appear there's that much more rain coming, but we've learned never to assume anything, so just stay tuned.
