The Washington Nationals' home game against the Detroit Tigers was postponed Tuesday due to rain in the area.

Instead, the teams will play a day-night doubleheader Wednesday. The makeup game was scheduled for 1:05 p.m. before their regularly scheduled game at 6:45.

Pitching plans for the twin bill were not yet known, but Washington is expected to use right-hander Trevor Williams and left-hander MacKenzie Gore as its starters in some order. Detroit might opt for an opener in Game 1 with right-hander Jack Flaherty likely going in Game 2.

Tuesday was supposed to be the opener of a three-game series between the American League-leading Tigers and the Nationals, who are last place in the National League East.
