4:38 p.m. start time locked for Cubs NLDS Game 4

The Cubs confirmed tonight that Game 4 of the National League division series at Wrigley Field will be scheduled to start at 4:38 p.m. Central even if the Dodgers-Diamondbacks series ends tonight.

“Due to forecasted weather later in the day, MLB has confirmed NLDS Game 4 will start at 4:38 p.m. CDT tomorrow,” the Cubs tweeted.

AccuWeather's forecast for Wrigley Field calls for cloudiness at 4 p.m. Tuesday, with the chances for rain increasing at the night goes on — and lasting all night.
