    Carlos Pena is getting a firsthand look at the unique weather at Wrigley Field, and while the conditions may not be conducive to his style, the Cubs slugger isn't daunted.

    A day after Pena's bid for a winning home run got blown back by the wind, Chicago's game against the San Diego Padres scheduled for Tuesday night was postponed because of inclement weather. The forecast called for heavy rain and wind chills in the 20s.

    The game will be made up as a part of a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday. The first game will start at 1:20 p.m. and the second game will begin at 6:05 p.m.

    With winds blowing in at 10-15 mph Monday, Pena came up in the bottom of the ninth inning in a scoreless game and crunched a ball to left field that would have left any park on a normal day.
