why is mariner game delayed today

The Mariners game scheduled for today, October 7, 2025, against the Detroit Tigers was delayed due to inclement weather, specifically steady rain in the Detroit area at Comerica Park. The infield was covered with a protective tarp shortly before the original start time to prevent damage to the field, but the persistent rain forced the postponement of the game start. Initial estimates expected the game to begin later in the evening, around 7:00 to 7:30 p.m. ET, weather permitting, though the rain was forecasted to continue until around 8 or 9 p.m. The delay was announced roughly 45 minutes before the originally scheduled first pitch to prioritize player and fan safety and to preserve the playing conditions.
