(AP Photo\/Matt Freed)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PITTSBURGH \u2014 The Pirates\u2019 Friday night matchup with the division-rival Brewers has been postponed due to expected inclement weather. The game will be made up at 12:05 p.m. ET on Saturday in the first game of a split doubleheader. Game two will start at 4:05 p.m. ET or one hour after the last out of the first game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Braxton Ashcraft, who was scheduled to start on Friday night, will start the first game. Bubba Chandler will follow in game two. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was announced over the PNC Park speakers that the game was expected to start at 6:50 p.m. ET after a brief 10-minute delay, but a combination of lingering rain and more forecasted bad weather led to the postponement. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three-game series between the Pirates and Brewers is the last one before the All-Star Break. Milwaukee leads the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/standings\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">National League Central<\/a> with a 59-34 record, while Pittsburgh is in fourth place with a 47-47 record.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMentioned in this article: <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/tag\/pittsburgh-pirates\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"categories single-categories\">More about:<a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/pittsburgh-pirates\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pirates<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Grounds crew members pull the tarp on the field during a rain delay in the sixth inning of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240701,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[73,75,74,10997],"class_list":["post-240700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-pittsburgh-pirates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240700"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240700\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
