Pirates' matchup with Red Sox postponed because of rain

Thursday's matchup between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Red Sox has been postponed due to rain.

What It Means:

The game will be made up next Thursday, April 13. Eduardo Rodriguez was set to take the mound for Boston, so he'll likely be pushed back a day to take on the Detroit Tigers in a road visit on Friday. Ivan Nova will remain the Pirates' starter on Friday, meaning today's scheduled starter, Chad Kuhl, will be skipped or pushed back.

In the season's early goings, numberFire's MLB Team Power Rankings have the Red Sox ranked third and the Pirates at 29th.
