(AP Photo\/Matt Freed)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pirates were scheduled to start the second half of their season on Friday night, but it will have to wait another day. Pittsburgh\u2019s game against the Guardians in Cleveland on Friday night has been postponed due to air quality conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game has been rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader at Progressive Field on Saturday. The rescheduled game will get underway at 1:10 p.m. ET, and the second game will will start at 7:10 p.m. ET. Jared Jones will start in game one and the Pirates have TBA listed for the second game. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canadian wildfires have caused poor air conditions across the Midwest. As of early Friday evening, Cleveland\u2019s air quality index was 207, which is considered very unhealthy. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the Pirates, Saturday\u2019s doubleheader will be their second in the last week. Pittsburgh and Milwaukee played a doubleheader at PNC Park last Saturday after Friday\u2019s game was cancelled due to rain.<\/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-246312","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\/246312","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=246312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246312\/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=246312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
