Rain Chaos Disrupts MLB Schedule
The stage was set for an exciting afternoon in Major League Baseball. The Seattle Mariners and Detroit Tigers were primed to face off in their ALDS Game 3 at 4:08 p.m. ET, followed by a matchup between the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays at 8:08 p.m. ET. With the timing perfectly aligned, fans looked forward to a seamless transition from one game to the next. However, nature had other plans.
Heavy rain led to an extended delay for the Mariners-Tigers game, throwing a wrench into the carefully crafted schedule. As a result, the anticipated broadcast on FS1 was no longer feasible.
New Broadcast Channels for Mariners-Tigers
After the rain delay, the Mariners and Tigers will now appear on different channels. According to reports, the game will be available on MLB Network and FS2, diverging from the original plan. Fans will also have the option to stream the action via the Fox Sports Go app, ensuring they don’t miss a moment of the playoff excitement.
Game 3 Stakes and Starting Pitchers
Game 3 carries significant weight for both teams, as they enter the contest tied at one game apiece. The Tigers took Game 1 in dramatic fashion, clinching a victory in 11 innings, while the Mariners responded with a decisive win in Game 2, capitalizing on two home runs from Jorge Polanco to overcome Tarik Skubal.
The matchup features right-handed pitchers Logan Gilbert for Seattle and Jack Flaherty for Detroit, both of whom will be crucial in determining the game’s outcome. One of the most intriguing storylines is the Tigers’ decision to have Kerry Carpenter lead off, a strategy that has drawn attention as the teams prepare for this pivotal clash.
While the rain may have altered the schedule, the excitement surrounding Game 3 remains palpable. Fans can only hope the weather clears soon, allowing the teams to battle it out on the diamond.
