MLB announces that Pirates, Reds will make up postponed games with pair of doubleheaders
The Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds will make up their two games postponed last weekend with a pair of doubleheaders on separate dates in September, MLB announced on Friday.
The games, originally scheduled for Aug. 15-16 at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, were postponed after a Reds player tested positive for covid-19.
