Tigers-Pirates rained out; Alex Faedo to make MLB debut in doubleheader Wednesday

DETROIT — The Tigers’ series opener against the Pirates on Tuesday night was postponed because of inclement weather.

Veteran right-hander Michael Pineda, who was slated to start Tuesday’s game, will start Game 1. In Game 2, the Tigers announced rookie right-hander Alex Faedo, the club’s No. 16-ranked prospect by MLBPipline and first-round draft pick in 2017, will make his MLB debut.
