Detroit — For the eighth time already this season, the Tigers had a baseball game postponed.

For the fourth time this season, they will play a make-up doubleheader.

Rain postponed the scheduled game with the Mariners Friday night. The two teams will play a straight doubleheader Saturday beginning at 4:10 p.m. The second game will start approximately 30 minutes after the first game ends.

The pitching match-ups aren’t expected to change. The Tigers will go with left-hander Matthew Boyd in the opener, opposed by Mariners right-hander Marco Gonzalez.

In the second game will pit former American League Rookie of the Year Michael Fulmer against former Cy Young Award-winning Felix Hernandez.
