The Boston Red Sox played at 12:37 p.m. ET on Thursday to get a head start on their weekend trip to Houston.
But travel plans don't always cooperate.
The Red Sox's charter plane bound for Houston from Toronto's Pearson International Airport on Thursday night diverted course and made an unscheduled landing in Detroit.
The diversion was caused by a potential mechanical issue, according to WBZ-TV.
Delta Flight 8884 carrying the Red Sox departed Toronto at 6:18 p.m. ET, a few hours after Boston defeated the Blue Jays 8-2 in their series finale. But the plane deviated from its flight plan and landed at Detroit's Metropolitan Wayne County Airport about two hours later.
According to FlightAware, the Red Sox had a layover of several hours in Detroit and finally continued their trip at 10:47 p.m., arriving in Houston just after midnight local time (1 a.m. ET).
The Sox will spend the morning resting up before beginning a three-game set with the Astros on Friday night.
