Personally, I’m getting sick of rain. The Minnesota Twins are now dealing with their third rain delay in six days, as tonight’s matchup between the Twins (30-37, third in AL Central) and Detroit Tigers (27-39, fourth in AL Central) at Comerica Park in Detroit will start in a rain delay. The game was originally scheduled to begin at 5:40 p.m. CDT.

If the game is played, we will see right-hander Taj Bradley start for Minnesota, and right-hander Troy Melton start for Detroit. Notably, Byron Buxton is playing center field and batting leadoff tonight after missing the last two games due to a shoulder contusion he suffered when slamming into the wall on Friday.
Update: First pitch estimated for 7:30 p.m. CDT
