The Miami Marlinsseries finale against the Chicago Cubs will not start on time due to inclement weather at Wrigley Field on Sunday afternoon.

Game time was originally scheduled for 2:20 p.m, but now will start at 3:15 p.m.

At the time of the delay announcement, the weather forecast showed at least a 50 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms through at least 5 p.m. local time (6 p.m. Eastern Time) before clearing up for the night. The rain slowed down about a half hour after the delay was announced. The tarp was removed shortly after that.

Miami lost the first two games of the series, 2-1 on Friday and 4-0 on Saturday, to fall to a season-worst 11 games under .500 at 48-59.
