What is the forecast for Tigers vs. Mariners ALDS Game 3?

Chances for showers and storms increase through the late morning and early afternoon. While this system will be moving out of Southeast Michigan late in the afternoon, we could still see the last bit moving out at the time of first pitch. 

Dry conditions and cooler temps are in store for the end of the game. These showers and storms are due to a cold front pushing through, which means temperatures this afternoon will be falling to around 60 degrees by 4:08 p.m.  

Are tickets still available for Tigers vs. Mariners?

The Tigers' website has limited tickets available for ALDS Game 3. 

Resale tickets are also available on SeatGeek, StubHub, Ticketmaster and Vivid Seats.
