MLB postseason action continues today, but one game has been postponed.

Game 2 of the National League Division Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals has been rained out.

Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the postponement about an hour before gametime Saturday.

The Dodgers and Nationals will play Game 2 at 1:08 p.m. Sunday. Los Angeles leads the best-of-five series 1-0.

Rain that intensified as Hurricane Matthew moved up the coast had washed out on-field batting practice.

The San Francisco Giants face the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago.

The Giants will have Jeff Samardzija (12-11) on the mound to start and the Cubs have selected Kyle Hendricks (16-8) for the start.

Here’s everything you need to know if you want to watch today’s game:

Time: 5:08 p.m. PDT
