CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The game between the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs was postponed due to rain and will be made up on Thursday at 1:05 p.m. EDT.

Thursday originally was an off day for both teams. Atlanta returns home Friday to begin interleague play against the two-time defending World Series champion New York Yankees, while the Cubs host the Detroit Tigers.

Today's scheduled starters were pushed back one day as Atlanta's Tom Glavine (7-1) faces Chicago's Kevin Tapani (2-6).

The Braves, who boast the majors' best record at 35-16, will be looking to complete a three-game sweep.
