The Cardinals enjoy an off-day today. They open a three-game series Saturday night against the division-rival Brewers at Busch Stadium. Shelby Miller is slated to oppose former Cardinal Kyle Lohse, who signed with Milwaukee just last month. The Brewers are off to a 2-6 start.

Brewers, Cubs Rained Out

(Chicago, IL) -- Last night's scheduled game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs was postponed due to rain. The game was rescheduled for Tuesday, July 30 at 1:20 p.m. as a part of a day-night doubleheader. It was to be the finale of a three-game series in the Windy City.  The teams split the first two games.

-- The Cubs welcome the defending champion San Francisco Giants to Wrigley Field this afternoon.

First pitch today is set for 1:20.

-- Cubs prospect Jorge Soler could be looking at a lengthy suspension. The outfielder reportedly charged an opponent's dugout with a bat while playing for the Single-A Daytona Cubs Wednesday night. The incident occurred in the seventh inning of Daytona's game against the Clearwater Threshers. He was pulled away by others and ejected from the contest.

-- Chicago Police are investigating a suspicious package that was sent to Wrigley Field on Wednesday. The package was addressed to Cubs owner Tom Ricketts and contained a goat's head.
