Cubs-Braves Saturday game postponed because of rain

The scheduled game Saturday between the Cubs and Atlanta Braves has been postponed because of rain.

Rain was forecast all day in Chicago. The game was called about two hours before the scheduled first pitch at 1:20 p.m. No makeup date was immediately announced.

John Lackey had been scheduled to start for the Cubs, while the Braves planned to send Julio Teheran to the mound.

At 17-5, the Cubs have the best record in baseball. They are on their best 22-game start since the 1907 team was 18-4.

The Braves are 5-18 after losing to the Cubs 6-1 on Friday night.
