DETROIT — Wednesday’s series finale between the Tigers and White Sox has been postponed due to inclement weather as a storm system dumped several inches of rain on the area around Comerica Park.
The game will be made up on Monday in a 1:10 p.m. ET start at Comerica Park.
The same storm system that prompted officials to move up Tuesday’s Tigers-White Sox game to an afternoon start crept over Michigan as expected Tuesday evening. It lingered there overnight and well into Wednesday, leading to a flood watch for Detroit and a relatively early postponement Wednesday morning.
Both teams were scheduled to be off Monday.
The rescheduled game means the Tigers and White Sox will face each other four times over the final week of the regular season, including a three-game series in Chicago next weekend to wrap up the regular-season schedule.
Wednesday’s postponement also means the Tigers will have two days off before they next play on Friday, when they begin a three-game series against the Royals with a 7:10 p.m. ET contest at Comerica Park. The game includes a Miguel Cabrera celebration honoring his 500th career home run from last month. It also begins the final home series of the Tigers schedule for this year.
Fans with tickets to Wednesday’s postponed game can either use them for Monday’s makeup game or exchange them for tickets to any of the scheduled games against the Royals this weekend, including Friday’s Miggy Celebration Day.
