And waited.
And waited some more.
The Tigers and San Francisco Giants delayed the start of Sunday's game at 12:38 p.m. due to inclement weather at Comerica Park, ahead of the scheduled 1:10 p.m. first pitch, only to postpone the finale of the three-game series at 6:15 p.m. The game was officially delayed for 5 hours and 5 minutes.
"That was, 'Hey, I promise you we're going to play this game no matter what. We're gonna play it, we're gonna play it, by the way, we're not playing,'" said Tigers reliever Tyler Alexander.
"Those words, no matter what, were thrown out a lot," said fellow reliever Trey Wingenter.
