BALTIMORE — A steady rain forced postponement of Thursday night's game between the Detroit Tigers and Baltimore Orioles.

The teams will play a single-admission doubleheader Friday, beginning at 4:30 p.m. The second game will begin 20 minutes after the first.

It will be Detroit's second doubleheader in three days. The Tigers lost both games at Cleveland on Wednesday and are mired in a three-game losing streak.

The series, scheduled for four games through Sunday, is the final one of the season for both teams. Baltimore played its final road game of the year Wednesday against Tampa Bay.

Baltimore (63-95) needs two more wins to surpass last year's total. The Tigers (80-78) must win at least twice to finish with a winning record.
