Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago Cubs Delayed on Sunday

It's been 11 years since the Cincinnati Reds were last on Sunday Night Baseball and now they'll have to wait just a little bit longer.

Sunday night’s series finale against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field will start in a rain delay. First pitch was originally scheduled for 7:20 p.m. ET.

Game Preview

The Reds and Cubs split the first two games of the series, making Sunday night’s matchup the rubber game. Cincinnati will send Chase Burns to the mound as it looks to leave Chicago with a series win.

Burns enters the game with a 14-3 record and 2.77 ERA. The rookie is looking to bounce back after one of his roughest outings of the season, allowing five runs on nine hits over 3 2/3 innings against the Giants in his last start.

Earlier this week, Burns revealed his that the plan is for him to make every start this season.

“This season, making every start and limiting my pitch count and innings, that’s huge for my body,”Burns told Charlie Goldsmith of Charlie's Chalkboard. “That’s the plan. Making every start is the biggest thing. I don’t need to go out there at the end of September and throw 110 pitches. Make every start if I feel great. Constantly communicate with them.”

Shota Imanaga will take the mound for the Cubs. The left-hander is 8-9 with a 3.78 ERA over 26 starts this season. He's coming off a start where he made it through just two innings against the Seattle Mariners. He gave up two runs on five hits. He walked two and struck out four, but needed 74 pitches to get through the two innings.
