Pirates rained out in Detroit; doubleheader scheduled for Wednesday
Inclement weather in Detroit on Tuesday led to the postponement of the start of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ two-game series with the Tigers at Comerica Park.
The game will be made up as part of a continuous doubleheader, starting at 1:10 p.m. Wednesday. The Pirates’ previously scheduled starting pitchers for Tuesday and Wednesday are Bryse Wilson (0-0, 470 ERA) and Jose Quintana (0-1, 3.32). The Tigers were planning to counter with Michael Pineda (1-1, 3.60) and Tarik Skubal (2-1, 3.05).
After that, the Pirates (9-13) will be off Thursday and travel to Cincinnati for the start of a four-game series against the Reds, who are in last place in the National League Central. That series includes a day-night doubleheader Saturday at Great American Ball Park.
