Saturday's Cubs-Pirates game goes into a rain delay after a wild sequence originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago

Saturday's Cubs-Pirates game went into a rain delay in the top of the fifth inning after a wild start to the inning.

The game is slated to resume at 7 p.m. (CT).

Rookie sensation Paul Skenes allowed a double from Mike Tauchman and an infield single to Seiya Suzuki. Kyle Nicholas came in for a relief appearance. He struck out Cody Bellinger and Christopher Morel in back-to-back at-bats before walking the next four batters, allowing the Cubs three RBI walks.

Subsequently, Josh Fleming came in for relief for Nicholas. He walked Yan Gomes and let Tauchman reach on an infield single, opening the door for the Cubs to tie the game, 6-6.

That's when the game went into a rain delay.

If and when the game resumes, the Cubs will have bases loaded with two outs against them. Suzuki is technically up to bat for the Cubs upon return.
