Overview
- The Detroit Tigers announced a rain delay before first pitch at Comerica Park and have not set a new start time.
- Major League Baseball will coordinate the official decision on restarting or postponing the game.
- Local forecasts show storms through the 2 p.m. hour with a much lower chance of rain by about 3 p.m., suggesting play could resume later in the afternoon.
- Framber Valdez and Tyler Glasnow were slated to start the deciding game, with Valdez described as inconsistent this season and Glasnow healthy and bolstering the Dodgers’ rotation.
- A postponement would be hard to reschedule because the teams are in different leagues, so the delay raises both logistical headaches and competitive stakes for rosters and travel.
