Sunday afternoon's game between the Chicago Cubs and the Washington Nationals at Wrigley Field will begin in a rain delay, the team announced. First pitch was initially scheduled for 1:20 p.m., but no start time has been announced yet due to inclement weather in the Chicagoland Area.

Shota Imanaga pitched seven crisp innings in his sixth consecutive win, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Washington Nationals 5-0.
