Rockies, Tigers try to open series after rain provides 2nd day off

Downing-Imagn Images The Colorado Rockies and Detroit Tigers had a scheduled day off before starting their three-game series in Denver on Tuesday. Heavy rain turned it into a two-day break.
The opener of the three-game set was postponed due to rain and will be made up Thursday as part of a traditional doubleheader, which will be the third weather-related doubleheader of the season for the Rockies and second at home. Detroit had one previous doubleheader due to a weather postponement.
In the meantime, the clubs will return to the diamond on Wednesday as scheduled.
Colorado rookie Chase Dollander (2-3, 6.48 ERA) and Detroit right-hander Jackson Jobe (2-0, 3.38) were slated to face each other in the first game. While the Rockies had not yet announced their pitching plans, the Tigers confirmed they would push Jobe’s start to Wednesday.
Dollander has yet to pitch against the Tigers, and Jobe has never faced Colorado.
Colorado is coming off losing three of four games at San Francisco over the weekend and owns the worst record in the majors at 6-28. The Rockies did win their last home game, 2-1 over Atlanta on April 30, and can build on that.
“Obviously, losing is not fun,” Dollander said after getting the win over the Braves. “But at the same time, we know that we’re capable of winning, and we haven’t put a winning product on the field.”
Dollander has put together a few bright outings in the team’s forgettable start to 2025. He won his major league debut — one of five Rockies rookies to debut this season — against the Athletics on April 6 and was impressive in his start against the Braves when he allowed one run in 5 2/3 innings.
Denver is the last stop on a season-long 10-game, three-city road trip for Detroit with a chance to head home with a winning record for that stretch. The Tigers took three of four at the Los Angeles Angels over the weekend and have slugged 20 home runs while going 4-3 on the trip. They’ve come close to doubling their season total of homers, which stands at 47 through 35 games.
The Tigers scored 34 runs in the four games against the Angels. Trey Sweeney and Kerry Carpenter hit home runs and combined for 11 RBIs in their 13-1 win on Sunday; Riley Greene had two home runs in one inning Friday night; and Javier Baez, Gleyber Torres, Dillon Dingler and Spencer Torkelson homered in Thursday’s game.
“We have a pretty good offense and it comes from different places,” Detroit manager AJ Hinch said. “(Sunday) Trey Sweeney was an incredible boost from the bottom of the order. Other days it’s Riley or Tork or Carp. (Sunday) it was a little bit of everybody.”
The Tigers were swept in their season-opening series at the Los Angeles Dodgers but since then are 22-10 and have the best record in the American League.

Hannah Green wins her 2nd HSBC Women's World Championship
Aug 21, 2025; Mississauga, Ontario, CAN; Hannah Green plays her tee shot at the third hole during first round play at the CPKC Women’s Open golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Australia’s Hannah Green held off Auston Kim on Sunday to win the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore for the second time.
Green, the 2024 champion, balanced three birdies and three bogeys on an eventful back nine to finish with a 3-under 69 and a final score of 14-under at Sentosa Golf Club. The 2019 Women’s PGA Championship winner tapped in for bogey at the 18th for her seventh LPGA Tour title.
“When I did win Singapore two years ago, I went on to win two other tournaments that season and pretty much had my best season on tour,” said Green, 29. “So having a win so early in the season gives me a bit more flexibility with the tournaments that I can play. So I’m hoping that this puts me in good stead for the rest of the year.”
Green was at 16-under after birdies at the first, 11th and 13th holes and an eagle at the par-5 eighth hole. Her birdie at the par-3 15th helped her survive a bogey-bogey finish.
“I knew that I had enough of a lead to be able to get away with making mistakes coming down the stretch. But I think 15 was the real turning point,” she said.
First- and second-round leader Kim nearly chased down her first title, matching the low round of the day with a 67 to finish one shot behind Green in the 72-hole, no-cut tournament.
Kim carded six birdies and an eagle at No. 8, but a bogey at the par-3 15th proved costly for the 25-year-old American.
“Overall, I think it was a really solid week,” Kim said. “A great way to start the year. I hit a lot of bad shots but I also hit a lot of good ones, and it was really confidence boosting. I hit all these bad shots, and I didn’t feel like I had anything chose to my A game, but I was still able it pull off a result like this and play some really solid golf.”
Australia’s Minjee Lee (72 on Sunday), Angel Yin (71) and France’s Pauline Roussin-Bouchard (68) tied for third place at 11-under with South Korea’s Haeran Ryu (72) another shot back in solo sixth.
World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand finished with a 73 and tied for 31st at 2-under, one shot behind defending champion Lydia Ko (72) of New Zealand.

Feb 22, 2026; West Palm Beach, Florida, USA; St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol (37) looks on from inside the dugout against the Houston Astros during the fifth inning at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol received a two-year contract extension through the 2028 season, the team announced Sunday.
Financial terms were not disclosed by the team, which holds an option for the 2029 season.
“As I’ve gotten to know Oli, I’ve seen someone who cares about this organization and knows what has made the Cardinals special over time — and who understands that for us to get where we need to go, we must compete relentlessly to set new standards in everything that we do,” president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said.
“He is invested in the progress of our young core and is unafraid to challenge himself and to help those around him grow. I am energized to continue working with him towards the on-field success that we expect and that our fans deserve.”
Marmol, 39, has guided the Cardinals to a 325-323 record during his four seasons as the skipper. He led St. Louis to the National League Central title in 2022 before the team fell in the wild-card series to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Last season, the Cardinals posted a 78-84 record to finish in fourth place in the NL Central.
Marmol was a coach with St. Louis from 2017-21 under previous managers Mike Shildt and Mike Matheny.
