Cubs-Pirates stopped by rain, first tie in majors since 2005 (Yahoo Sports)

The Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates played to the first tie game in the major leagues since 2005 when rain forced the teams to stop in the sixth inning Thursday night with the score 1-all. The Cubs and Pirates aren't scheduled to play again this season, and the game won't be made up because it doesn't affect postseason positioning. Willson Contreras had two hits and scored for the NL Central champion Cubs, who have already clinched the best record in the majors.
