Major League Baseball has canceled its London Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The teams were set to play two games on June 13 and 14 at West Ham's Olympic Stadium.

"We made the decision because it was unlikely the events would go forward, and timely cancellation allowed us to preserve important financial resources," Rob Manfred said in a statement. "We also have canceled agreements with service providers and delayed projects that involve large capital expenditures."
