Red Sox-Tigers Game Moved Up, Avoid Skubal

The Boston Red Sox will face the Detroit Tigers at an earlier time of 6:10 p.m. on Sunday, May 4, 2026, due to expected thunderstorms in the Detroit area. The move prevents the Sox from having to face two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal, though he's already sidelined with an injury.

For Boston, Payton Tolle will take the mound, while Detroit counters with lefty Tyler Holton. Jarren Duran leads off for the Red Sox despite Holton being a southpaw. The Tigers have also announced their starting lineup, featuring Jahmai Jones at DH, Matt Vierling in center field, and other regular players in their positions. zeppelin.cool
