Series #47: Athletics vs Tigers - The Suspense is Killing Me

In Detroit, on May 19th of this year, in the 7th inning of a fast moving game, it began to rain hard. It seemed almost certain that the game would be unplayable moving forward. Then, there was a collective “Huh?” as players took the field and the game continued. It did not continue for long, as play was suspended in the inning with the A’s clinging to a 5-3 lead. Instead of being able to call the game and bank it as a victory, it was now a suspended game, to be completed at a later date. That later date has finally come, as the Tigers are coming to Oakland to play a 3 (and a third) game series.
