Rain forces Cubs-Blue Jays series finale to move

Sunday’s Cubs-Blue Jays game vanished under gray skies, scrubbed by rain before the teams could finish their weekend dance at Wrigley. The opener had been a blowout—Chicago cracked 16 runs in the first game—before Toronto fought back with an 8-6 win the next night. Now both clubs must wait until August 6 to see who holds the edge in this mini-series.Toronto’s season keeps rolling right along. They’ve taken four of the last five, and when they’re not on the road, their home games bring a fresh 10-game stand starting Monday against Houston. Chicago, meanwhile, packs its bags and heads east for a seven-city swing that ends in Milwaukee’s division-leading turf. It’s the kind of schedule shuffle that tests every team’s depth and flexibility. One player riding the momentum wave is Pete Crow-Armstrong. Over his last 23 outings, he’s mashing to the tune of . 412 with 10 long balls and 17 runs batted in. That streak matters because road trips often separate contenders from pretenders. When weather clears and the field dries, he’ll look to keep swinging hot.
