Game 3 of the AL Division Series between the Seattle Mariners and Detroit Tigers was delayed by rain.
Detroit was scheduled to host Seattle with a late afternoon start Tuesday, but the infield was covered within an hour of the scheduled first pitch.
The forecast called for steady rain in the early evening and a chance of showers by 8 or 9 p.m., with Red Sox legend and occasional meteorologist David Ortiz saying he expects the game to begin in no time.
“They’re going to make it,” Ortiz assured fans watching at home. “It’s just a little green here, but it’ll be okay. It’s moving quickly, people. There’s a window – I can see a window over there! Let’s wait.”
The Tigers and Mariners split the first two games of the series in Seattle.
