Sunday's game between the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park has a new start time.
The Red Sox announced on Saturday that Sunday's game has been pushed back from 1:35 p.m. ET to 4:35 p.m. ET due to Sunday's weather forecast, which calls for mid-day rain in Boston.
By pushing the game back three hours, the Red Sox are hoping to avoid a rain delay or potential postponement. They have not had any rainouts yet this season, so they are hoping to keep that trend intact.
That said, the start time may be further delayed on Sunday depending on the weather conditions leading up to the game. Accordingly, fans attending the game will want to monitor the weather on Sunday and check for additional updates regarding the start time.
After splitting the first two games of the series, Boston is looking to bounce back from Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Tigers. Sunday's game is shaping up to be an excellent pitching duel between All-Star lefties Framber Valdez and Garrett Crochet, with Crochet looking to rebound from his earlier this week.
