Baseball fans watch the opening ceremony of the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians baseball game at Comerica Park, Thursday, April 1, 2021, in Detroit.
Wednesday’s contest at Comerica Park between the Pittsburgh Pirates (29-45) and Detroit Tigers (47-27) has been postponed because of inclement weather.
On Thursday, the clubs will instead play a split doubleheader, with the original game slated for 1:10 p.m. maintained.
Following that game, at 5:40 p.m., Wednesday’s contest will be played.
The Pirates announced that Andrew Heaney (3-5, 3.33 ERA), Wednesday’s starter, will take the hill Thursday afternoon against Tigers ace Tarik Skubal (7-2, 1.99 ERA), the reigning AL Cy Young winner.
Paul Skenes (4-6, 1.78 ERA) will follow in the second game, with Detroit yet to name a starter for Game 2 of the doubleheader.
