PITTSBURGH (AP) — The scheduled game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates was postponed because of rain Friday night and rescheduled for Saturday as part of a day-night doubleheader.

The first game was set for 12:05 p.m. EDT and the second at 4:05 p.m.

Pittsburgh All-Star Braxton Ashcraft (9-3, 3.24 ERA) was scheduled to start the opener, with rookie Bubba Chandler (3-8, 4.82) set for the second game. Milwaukee planned to start two rookies — Brandon Sproat (3-4, 5.13) in Game 1 and left-hander Shane Drohan (4-2, 2.97) in Game 2.
