Sunday's new Cubs-Pirates start time: 2:15 p.m.

The start of Sunday's Cubs-Pirates series finale has been delayed by rain to 2:15 p.m., the Cubs estimate.

The tarp was removed from the field at about 1:20 p.m., the originally scheduled start time, after more than an hour of heavy rain.

It's the third time during this seven-game homestand and second time since the Pirates got to town that weather has altered the Cubs schedule.

The Cubs on Wednesday played in a downpour before the Rays' 8-2 victory over the Cubs was halted in the sixth inning.

On Friday morning the Cubs moved that day's scheduled afternoon game to a night game because of the forecast.

The Cubs and Pirates both have scheduled days off Monday before the Cubs open a three-game series in Atlanta on Tuesday.
