While conspiracy theorists continue to ponder if it was really the weather or actually the lack of bathrooms that postponed Game 2 of the series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs last night at Wrigley Field, the two teams will return to action this afternoon with a 1:20p CT first pitch.

Lance Lynn will make his first start of the season and is 2-2 with a 5.04 ERA in five career starts at Wrigley.
