Michigan weather strikes again.
The Detroit Tigers‘ series against the defending American League-champion New York Yankees — and their torpedo bats created by a former University of Michigan physicist — at Comerica Park on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday has been rescheduled to afternoon games because “evening wind chills.”
“Scheduled first pitch times for Tigers vs. Yankees games at Comerica Park have been adjusted from 6:40 p.m. to 3:10 p.m. on Monday, and 1:10 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday,” the Tigers said in a post on X.
“It was a collaboration of everybody,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Sunday morning. “And I’m really happy with everybody. Because given what the forecast says, not that it’s going to be balmy during the day, but it’s going to be better.”
