Braves, Tigers set for doubleheader after rainout

Following a long delay that proved fruitless, the Atlanta Braves and Detroit Tigers will play two games on Wednesday afternoon

The teams waited more than two hours before their scheduled game in Detroit on Tuesday night was postponed. They will play a straight doubleheader on Wednesday.

The Tigers rallied to win the series opener 6-5 in 10 innings on Monday night to snap a nine-game losing streak

Atlanta will go with major league strikeout leader Spencer Strider in Game 1. Rookie AJ Smith-Shawver might take his regular turn in Game 2, though as of Tuesday night no starter had been named.
