David Ortiz Plays Weatherman During Tigers-Mariners ALDS Game 3 Rain Delay
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Game 3 of the AL Division Series between the Seattle Mariners and Detroit Tigers has been delayed by rain.
Detroit was set to host Seattle with a late-afternoon start Tuesday, but the infield was covered within an hour of the scheduled first pitch.
Forecasts called for steady rain through the early evening and a chance of showers through 8 or 9 p.m. However, Red Sox legend and occasional meteorologist David Ortiz said that he expects the game to start in no time.

The Tigers and Mariners split the first two games of the series in Seattle.
