Rain Delays Tigers vs. Guardians Doubleheader Game 1

The Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians are playing a doubleheader, meaning two games on the same day, this week.

Game 1 of the doubleheader was delayed because of rain. A rain delay happens when weather makes it unsafe or difficult to keep playing.

The two teams are meeting as part of a regular series, which is a set of games played between the same two teams over a short period.

Pitching matchups are important because the starting pitcher can strongly affect how a game turns out.

One of the games in this series is part of Friday Night Baseball, a weekly broadcast shown on Apple TV.

A broadcast is when a game is shown live for people to watch on television or online.

Fans have been looking for information about the start time of the Friday game, as well as how to watch it.

Doubleheaders can happen for different reasons, often because an earlier game was postponed, though the summary here does not explain why this one was scheduled.

Rain delays are common in baseball, since games are usually played outdoors and cannot continue safely in heavy rain.

Both the Tigers and Guardians are competing in Major League Baseball, the top professional baseball league in the United States.

Fans will be watching closely to see how the delay affects the schedule for both games of the doubleheader.
