LAKELAND, Fla. — Rain put a third-inning stop to Tuesday’s game at Marchant Stadium between the Tigers and Blue Jays. The wet stuff also rinsed away another base hit by James McCann.

A catcher in his second full season in the big leagues is on his way to becoming an All-Star. Give him some time, but McCann is on track.
