Weather postpones Miami Marlins series opener against Cleveland Guardians
The Miami Marlins’ series opener against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on Friday has been postponed due to inclement weather in the area.
The Marlins and Guardians will instead play a traditional doubleheader Saturday, with the first game starting at 3:10 p.m.
Steady rain is expected in the downtown Cleveland area from Friday night through Saturday morning.
The Marlins are potentially shaking up their pitching plan with the doubleheader.
Braxton Garrett, who was scheduled to start on Friday, is slated for Game 2 of the doubleheader. The team has not announced a starter for the first game. Sandy Alcantara was originally scheduled to pitch Saturday with Jesus Luzardo slotted for the series finale on Sunday.
Zach Plesac and Shane Bieber are the Guardians’ pitchers who were scheduled to pitch Friday and Saturday, respectively. Logan Allen is Cleveland’s scheduled pitcher for Sunday.
