Inclement weather forced the cancellation of Sunday’s series finale between the Cleveland Guardians and the visiting Detroit Tigers, cutting short what could have been a series sweep for Cleveland.
The two American League Central rivals will now make up the game as part of a split doubleheader scheduled for September 4 in Cleveland.
The Guardians had been on the verge of sweeping the three-game series after posting a 3-2 win on Friday and following it up with a 3-1 victory on Saturday. The postponement denied Cleveland the chance to complete the sweep.
Adding to the team’s challenges, the Guardians placed star third baseman Jose Ramirez on the 10-day injured list earlier Sunday after he suffered a broken bone in his hand.
