Pirates-Rays cancelled

Sunday’s game between the Pirates and Tampa Rays was rained out and will not be made up.

After a wait of about an hour, officials called the game after the rains came down harder. The two teams are not scheduled to meet again this spring.

Daniel McCutchen, scheduled to make his first start of the Grapefruit League season for Pittsburgh on Sunday, will pitch Monday against the Phillies Triple AAA club in Clearwater because the Pirates have an off day.

Octavio Dotel, slated to make his first Grapefruit League appearance, will pitch about an inning Monday at Pirates City.
