The Detroit Tigers are finally returning home Tuesday, Oct. 7, for their first game at Comerica Park in 16 days. That is, if Mother Nature cooperates.
The potential for rain and thunderstoms in Detroit has created the possibility of a delayed start to Game 3 of the American League Division Series as the Tigers host the Seattle Mariners. The heaviest stuff was forecast to hit the area this morning, but the front is likely to linger well past the scheduled 4:08 p.m. ET first pitch.
The two teams are tied after splitting the first two games of the series in Seattle by identical 3-2 scores.
The scheduled Game 3 starters are Jack Flaherty for the Tigers and Logan Gilbert for the Mariners, but the questionable weather could force both managers to alter their plans. Stay tuned for updates.
