Cubs-Yankees rained out, to play two today

NEW YORK -- Ernie Banks would love it. With the Cubs in town for a two-game series at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees and their visitors are going to play two.

Tuesday's game between the Yankees and Cubs has been postponed due to inclement weather. The game has been rescheduled as the first game of a separate-admission, day-night doubleheader for Wednesday at 1:05 p.m. ET.

Gates for the 1:05 p.m. game will open at 11:30 a.m. The game originally scheduled for Wednesday remains a 7:05 p.m. start.

The Yankees will have right-hander Masahiro Tanaka on the mound for the afternoon game, making his third Major League start. Tanaka tweeted after Tuesday's washout that he has not played a doubleheader since high school. Chicago will counter with right-hander Jason Hammel.

In the nightcap, the Yankees are scheduled to have right-hander Michael Pineda on the mound for his third start of the season. Chicago will give the ball to left-hander Travis Wood.

Pregame ceremonies honoring the legacies of Nelson Mandela and Jackie Robinson originally scheduled for Tuesday will take place prior to Wednesday's 7:05 p.m. game.

The YES Network will broadcast the 1:05 p.m. game and MY9 will broadcast the 7:05 p.m. game.
