The Detroit Tigers’ series opener against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night was postponed due to rain. The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Wednesday. Game 1, the rescheduled contest, will begin at 1:05 p.m., with the regularly scheduled nightcap set for 6:45 p.m.

The Detroit Tigers traveled to Washington, D.C. for Tuesday night's scheduled game at Nationals Park only to watch helplessly as the game became a rainout. The Tigers were scheduled to send former LA Dodgers World Series Champion Jack Flaherty to the mound against MacKenzie Gore of Washington in a game that many Tigers fans felt was an opportunity for Flaherty to get back on the right track after a handful of shaky starts.
