Detroit Tigers-Oakland A's suspended until September, with A's up 5-3

The Detroit Tigers can’t beat the Oakland Athletics.

And on Sunday afternoon, they couldn’t beat the rain, either.

The series finale of a four-game set was suspended due to inclement weather conditions when a lengthy rain storm hit Comerica Park at 3:29 p.m.

Expecting the rain, the Tigers’ grounds crew covered the field with the tarp almost immediately – for safety purposes, the grounds crew did not want to battle the wind gusts in covering the field.
