A Cubs-Reds game at Great American Ball Park was delayed by rain, pushing the start from 12:40 p.m. CT to around 1:50 p.m. CT on September 21, 2025. The Cubs, who have lost three straight games and remain winless since clinching a playoff spot, face a challenging stretch as they aim to secure a top National League Wild Card seed. The game features Jameson Taillon for Chicago and Andrew Abbott for Cincinnati, both pitchers with strong recent performances. The delay adds to a tough period for the Cubs, who are seeking momentum ahead of a six-game homestand beginning Tuesday against the Mets.
