Tigers-Royals rain delay updates
The Tigers shared at 12:16 p.m. local time (11:16 a.m. in Kansas City) that the game "has been delayed due to inclement weather in the area."
They added "further updates will be provided when available."
Detroit has a flood watch still in effect through Thursday night, so it seems like plenty more rain is expected.

Whether they get to take the mound at all on Thursday remains to be seen.
