Overview

  • The May 6 series opener between the Detroit Tigers and Colorado Rockies was postponed due to heavy rain in Denver.
  • MLB rescheduled the game as part of a traditional doubleheader on May 8, with Game 1 starting at 1:10 p.m. MT and Game 2 beginning approximately 30 minutes after Game 1 ends.
  • Tickets for the original May 8 game will be valid for both games of the doubleheader, while tickets for the postponed May 6 game will be refunded or credited.
  • The postponement has led to pitching adjustments, with Detroit’s Jackson Jobe starting on May 7 and Tarik Skubal’s next outing moved to the Tigers’ upcoming homestand.
  • This marks the Rockies’ third weather-related doubleheader this season, highlighting ongoing weather challenges at Coors Field.
