ST. LOUIS — The first of four games between the Cubs and the division-rival Cardinals started in a delay Monday night, with “potential impending storms” in the area of Busch Stadium.
Word of the delay came more than a half hour prior to the originally scheduled first-pitch time of 6:45 p.m.
The Cubs, in the middle of a two-city road trip against NL Central opponents, started the day seven games back of the division-leading Brewers.
Baker, who managed the Cubs for four seasons (2003-06), is among the candidates who will be up for election at the end of the year.

The Cubs cut their longest-tenured active pitcher loose Monday, with the veteran righty failing produce in a positive way for a team in the thick of a playoff race.

Taillon gave up three more homers, bringing his season total to 25, in Sunday’s loss to the Pirates. With an ERA near nine in his last seven starts, the Cubs will talk about whether he gets the ball again in five days.
