ALDS Game 3: Tigers and Mariners Battle After Lengthy Rain Delay
Detroit, MI - Baseball fans in Detroit and Seattle held their breath as a significant rain delay threatened to postpone Game 3 of the American League Division Series (ALDS) between the Detroit Tigers and the Seattle Mariners. The game, initially scheduled for a 4:08 p.m. start at Comerica Park, the Tigers' first home game of the 2025 MLB playoffs, was ultimately delayed for two hours and 53 minutes before finally commencing at 7:01 p.m.
The Tigers and Mariners entered the game tied 1-1 in the best-of-five series. The winner will advance to face either the Toronto Blue Jays or the New York Yankees in the ALCS. Prior to Tuesday's game, the Tigers had played three games at Progressive Field in Cleveland and two games at T-Mobile Park in Seattle during their postseason run.
Manager A.J. Hinch remained optimistic during the delay, stating approximately two hours before the eventual start, "We're going to play. We don't know exactly when we're going to start."
Due to the rain delay and the overlapping ALDS matchup between the Yankees and Blue Jays, the Tigers-Mariners game was moved from FS1 to FS2 and MLB Network. Fans could also stream the game on the Fox One app.
