Trevor Bauer upset with Cincinnati Reds-Detroit Tigers rain delay

The Detroit Tigers and Cincinnati Reds moved up Saturday's game by five hours because there was rain in the forecast.

Mother Nature apparently didn't care. The Tigers' grounds crew started unrolling the tarp at 1 p.m., just 10 minutes before the scheduled first pitch, as it began to rain at Comerica Park.

Both teams were warming up on the field, and both starting pitchers were in the bullpen, so they were preparing to play at 1:10 p.m. before the tarp was rolled over the infield. Reds starter Trevor Bauer was furious with the decision to delay the game.
