  "account": "The Detroit Tigers faced a rain delay during their rubber game against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday, Sept. 9. The scheduled first pitch time was 1:10 p.m. ET, but the start time has yet to be confirmed. Earlier in the week, the Tigers won the first game 5-4 on Monday, Sept. 7, thanks to home runs from Kevin McGonigle and Riley Greene. McGonigle added another home run in Tuesday's game, but the Twins staged a 3-2 comeback victory.\n\nFor the third and final game of this series and the Tigers' season, starting pitchers Keider Montero (9-8, 3.52 ERA) will take the mound for Detroit, while Zebby Matthews (9-9, 4.69 ERA) will face Minnesota. The Tigers currently sit at 4-8 against the Twins this season, giving Minnesota the advantage of clinching the tiebreaker. However, with the Tigers' playoff odds effectively at zero, it's unlikely the tiebreaker will factor in.",
