PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates' series opener against the Tigers on Tuesday night was postponed due to rain.
The clubs will make up Tuesday's game on Wednesday with a traditional doubleheader beginning at 4:05 p.m. ET.
First pitch was scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET at PNC Park. Just after 7 p.m., with the tarp still on the infield and nobody warming up, the Pirates announced the game would be delayed. After an hour and a half, Pittsburgh announced the postponement.
Right-hander Chad Kuhl was scheduled to start the opener for Pittsburgh against Detroit right-hander Jordan Zimmermann.
