Game StoryCHICAGO (Ticker) -- Saturday's game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs was postponed after Cardinals righthander Darryl Kile was found dead in his hotel room. Kile was 33. Information was not immediately available from Chicago police, the medical examiner's office or the Westin Hotel, where the Cardinals are staying. Cubs catcher Joe Girardi broke the news to the Wrigley Field crowd some 25 minutes after the game was supposed to begin. "We regret to inform you because of a tragedy in the Cardinal family that the commissioner has canceled the game today. Thank you," Girardi said while fighting back tears. "I ask that you say a prayer for the St. Louis Cardinals family." Saturday's game was not immediately rescheduled, but the teams will play a single game Sunday night at Wrigley Field. Kile was scheduled to pitch Sunday. The Cardinals will return to Chicago for a three-game weekend series beginning Friday, August 30.
