Rain in Cincinnati on Thursday forced the postponement of the series finale between the Reds and Milwaukee Brewers.

The contest, originally scheduled for 12:10 p.m. local time, will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Aug. 30 at Great American Ball Park.

Milwaukee took two of three games in the series, including a 7-2 victory on Wednesday.

The Brewers are pushing their starting pitchers back by a day, therefore right-hander Freddy Peralta (1-0, 3.09 ERA) will take the mound Friday at Baltimore.

The Reds head to Chicago for a three-game series against the White Sox. Righty Nick Martinez (0-0, 7.20 ERA) is expected to start for Cincinnati on Friday.
