Detroit<\/a> sports fans hoping to watch a Detroit Tigers<\/a> game in the afternoon before settling in with a Detroit Pistons<\/a> playoff game in the evening will have some tough choices on Sunday, April 18, thanks to a nasty weather forecast.<\/p>\n

MLB announced a time change for the Tigers\u2019 game in Boston<\/a> against the Red Sox<\/a>, moving the third game of the four-game series from 1:35 p.m. to 4:35 p.m. Even with the time change, the game may run deep into the evening; the rain in Boston is expected to start around 10 a.m. and last most of the afternoon.<\/p>\n
