Baseball fans in Detroit are going to need a little patience today. The scheduled series finale between the Detroit Tigers and the Kansas City Royals at Comerica Park has been put on hold due to rain, throwing the afternoon's plans into question.

The game, originally set for a 1:10 p.m. first pitch, is officially in a rain delay as the teams wait for a break in the weather. Manager A.J. Hinch summed up the uncertainty before the postponement, stating, "It's obviously a mess out there." If the conditions don't improve, the AL Central matchup will be rescheduled for a later date.

This delay has a ripple effect on the Tigers' pitching plans. Right-hander Keider Montero was slated to start today against the Royals' Kris Bubic. If the game is postponed, Montero would likely be pushed to start the team's next series opener on Friday night against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

For now, the Tigers (9-9) and their fans are in a holding pattern. Stay tuned to official team channels for updates on when—or if—the first pitch will finally be thrown. In the meantime, it's a good day to keep your Tigers gear dry and get ready for what's next on the schedule.
