The Pirates/Orioles game scheduled for Wednesday was postponed due to rain. The game will be made up as a doubleheader Thursday.

Charlie Morton was slated to start for Pittsburgh, while Chris Tillman was the scheduled starter for Baltimore Wednesday.

Cardinals pitcher Lance Lynn didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, giving up three earned runs on five hits and two walks in five innings while striking out four in his team's 5-4, 11-inning loss to the Brewers.

It took Lynn 102 pitches to get through five innings, but he was able to keep his team in the game before turning things over to the bullpen. He owns a 3.60 ERA and 40:11 K:BB ratio in 35 innings after turning in his first no-decision of the season Tuesday. Lynn is on track to take on Cubs in Chicago Sunday.

Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels took the loss Tuesday, giving up six earned runs on eight hits and five walks in just 4 2/3 innings while striking out three in his team's 6-1 loss to the Mets.

Hamels (0-2) dealt with an 88-minute rain delay before Tuesday's start and looked completely out of rhythm, hitting a batter as well as doling out six walks, including four in the fourth inning and one to the opposing pitcher to bring home a run. He took a step back after a very solid season debut last week. Hamels owns a 6.75 ERA and 8:6 K:BB ratio in 10 2/3 innings. He'll get the Nationals at home Sunday.

Braves pitcher Alex Wood was rocked for seven earned runs on 10 hits and one walk in five-plus innings while striking out two to take the loss as his team fell 9-0 to the Marlins Tuesday.

Wood (2-4) gave up three earned runs in the third inning, with two coming via a Giancarlo Stanton home run. He entered the sixth inning in a 3-0 deficit, and it came apart from there, with Wood surrendering a walk and three hits before being pulled. The bullpen would let all three inherited runners score, handing Wood the ugly line. He owns a 2.93 ERA and 37:8 K:BB ratio in 40 innings, and the Braves have scored just one run combined in his four losses. His next start should come against the Giants at home Sunday.

The Pirates and Orioles game Tuesday in Baltimore has been cancelled due to a inclement weather. The teams announced the game will be made up Thursday.

The Pirates announced Tuesday's starter Charlie Morton will pitch Wednesday, which will likely push Brandon Cumpton back to Thursday as well. The Orioles announced Tuesday's starter Chris Tillman will indeed take the mound Wednesday. 

Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke, whose scheduled Tuesday start was rained out, will face the Twins on Wednesday, reports the Orange County Register. He's 4-0 with a 2.45 ERA in five starts.

The Dodgers-Twins game scheduled for Tuesday was postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Thursday.

Zack Greinke and Kyle Gibson were the scheduled starting pitchers for Tuesday's game.

Diamondbacks pitcher Wade Miley was rocked for seven earned runs on 10 hits and one walk in six innings while striking out two and giving up two home runs to take the loss in his team's 8-5 loss to the Rockies Monday.

Miley (2-3) turned in a season-worst performance, but he headed into the sixth inning with the teams tied 4-4 before the Rockies scored three runs on two home runs in his final inning of work. Miley owns a 5.36 ERA and 36:17 K:BB ratio in 42 innings over seven starts. His next shot will come Sunday in San Diego.

Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha surrendered three earned runs on eight hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings while striking out nine Monday, but he didn't factor into the decision in his team's 5-3, 12-inning loss to the Brewers.

Wacha breezed through his first six innings and entered the seventh with a 3-0 lead before striking out the first batter he faced to record what would be his final out. He then gave up a walk and four singles before being removed with a 3-2 lead that would eventually be relinquished in the inning, leading to Wacha being charged with a third earned run. He owns a 2.48 ERA and 44:10 K:BB ratio in 36 1/3 innings going into Sunday's meeting with the Cubs in Chicago.

Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw will make his next rehab start with Double-A Chattanooga Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Kershaw hoped to return after his previous rehab outing, but the team is having him make one more start before potentially returning to the rotation early next week. He has been out since the team's first game of the season due to a back issue.
