Scorecard: May 17, 2011 Toronto Blue Jays at Detroit Tigers - Game 2 of 2

From Comerica Park, Detroit, Michigan

Jays (21-20) at Tigers (22-19) - Game 2

First pitch: 7:05 PM EST


Starting pitchers:

Toronto - Jesse Litsch
Detroit - Rick Porcello

7:04 Rain delay.

7:46 - Not raining - but apparently, says Mike Wilner on the FAN590 Toronto, the Tigers don't think we should start yet. Amazingly the home team gets to decide when to start in rain situations - I guess it's about the gate. Once the game starts the Umpires are in control of starting and stopping the game due to rain.

9:51 - Postponed due to rain at 9:07 PM EST.

UPDATE: 05/18/11 - The proposed make up date is Monday, June 27th - which was originally scheduled as a travel day for the Jays - on their way home from a 3 city tour of the National League (Cincinnati, Atlanta, St. Louis).

As the schedual stands now, the Jays have no games scheduled on the 2nd, 13th and 23rd of June (all travel days). After the Detroit make-up game on the 27th, the Jays face Pittsburgh and Philadelphia at Rogers Centre for 3 games a-piece, then travel to Boston for 3, and then 4 games in Cleveland to close out the first half of the season.  The Jays play every day for almost an entire mionth - from June 14th until July 11th - which begins the annual 3 day break for the All Star Game (for average players).
