NEW YORK -- The scheduled game between the unbeaten Detroit Tigers and winless New York Mets was postponed by rain Tuesday night.
The game will be made up at 1:10 p.m. on Thursday, originally an off day for both teams. Detroit plays its home opener Friday afternoon against Oakland. New York plays Friday night at Cincinnati.
Showers fell all day in New York City, and the tarp was never removed from the infield at Citi Field. With steady rain in the forecast Wednesday that could put that night's game in jeopardy as well, the teams waited nearly two hours before Tuesday night's game was called.
