DETROIT (AP) — The first game of Sunday’s split doubleheader between the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers has been postponed because of rain.
Game 1 was scratched about three hours before the scheduled first pitch. There was no immediate word on a makeup date.
Game 2 was still scheduled for 7:10 p.m. The Tigers planned to send left-hander Francisco Liriano (1-1) to the mound against New York right-hander Luis Severino (2-1).
The Yankees and Tigers were rained out Saturday in what had been New York’s only scheduled visit to Detroit this year.
The scramble could be on to find a time when the Yankees can come back to Motor City. The teams have a mutual off day June 4, for example, when New York would be traveling anyway between road games at Baltimore and Toronto.
