DETROIT -- Thursday's scheduled Tigers game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Comerica Park has been postponed because of inclement weather. The game has been rescheduled for Friday with first pitch set for 1:10 p.m. FOX Sports Detroit's coverage will begin at 11 a.m.
All paid tickets for Thursday's game will be honored for Friday's game or can be exchanged for any future regular-season game in the next 12 months.
Detroit's Jordan Zimmermann and Pittsburgh's Ivan Nova were the scheduled starters for Opening Day, and they're still expected to take the mound Friday. Zimmermann talked a bit Wednesday about whether a rainout would be a problem.
"No. Just bump everything back a day," he said.
It will be the first opening day start for Zimmermann, although he did start Detroit's home opener in 2016, pitching seven scoreless innings against the New York Yankees.
The Tigers have won six straight season openers, the longest streak in franchise history.
