Rain threat forces Red Sox to delay Tigers game 3 hours at Fenway Park
•Yahoo Sports
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox pushed back the start of Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers by three hours because of a forecast of rain. The first pitch at Fenway Park is now scheduled for 4:35 p. m.
The original schedule had the game at 1:35 p. m. The team said it consulted with Major League Baseball because of a forecast for rain from mid-day into the afternoon.
The later start could take advantage of better weather expected later in the afternoon “and provides the best opportunity to play the game on Sunday. ” The teams have split the first two games of the four-game series, with the finale the traditional Patriots' Day morning start in Boston on Monday. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.
