Tigers to host day-night DH Sunday after another rainout

Saturday's scheduled game against the Boston Red Sox at Comerica Park has been postponed due to rain and impending rain. The game will be made up Sunday as the second game of a split doubleheader, which will begin with the regularly scheduled game at 1:05 pm and will be followed by the makeup game at 7:05 pm.

The pitching matchups will remain the same, as the Tigers' Andy Oliver will pitch against Boston's Clay Buchholz in the day game, and Justin Verlander will go against Josh Beckett in the nightcap.

It was the fourth time in nine scheduled home games that a game was postponed. The previous three postponements this season came in series finales, so they were rescheduled for later in the season. Unlike those series, this is Boston's only trip to Detroit this season.

The Tigers are the first team with four rainouts in this short of a span since the White Sox in September 2007.
