The Chicago Cubs today announced the Friday, September 8 game vs. the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field, currently listed as 1:20 p.m. CDT, is now scheduled to begin at 7:05 p.m. CDT and will air on WGN.
When John Lackey fires the first pitch, it will be the start of the first regular-season Friday-night game in Cubs history.The Cubs got special permission from the city for Friday’s game, citing Thursday night’s game at Pittsburgh and the resulting tight turnaround for a team trying to nail down its third straight playoff berth.
