After being delayed for more than two hours, the Tampa Bay Rays' game in Detroit on Wednesday was called off. It was rescheduled for June 13.
The inconvenience aside, it probably wasn't a bad thing for the Rays as they were trailing 2-0 with the Tigers threatening again in the third inning when play was called.
When this game is made up it will be played over from the start, so it will be like Andy Sonnanstine never pitched and Johnny Damon didn't get his 2,621st career hit.
The Rays have already had one rainout in Boston that is set to be made up on Aug. 16. Another in Minnesota has already been made up.
The new date extends one of the Rays longer trips, as they now will go from Seattle to Anaheim to Baltimore and then to Detroit for the one game, at 7:05.
