The Tampa Bay Rays are offering free tickets to Sunday's game against the Cleveland Indians for any Florida resident who has been forced to evacuate their home due to Hurricane Dorian, the team announced Saturday.

Ticket distribution will begin 90 minutes prior to game time, with potential participants instructed to show their Florida Driver's License at the BayCare Box Office at Tropicana Field.

Hurricane Dorian is currently rated as a Category 4 storm and boasts maximum sustained winds of 150 mph. The storm is expected to make landfall on the east coast of Florida by Tuesday morning.

The Indians and Rays are in the midst of a key series with wild-card implications in the American League. Cleveland currently holds the top wild-card spot and has a 1 1/2-game lead over Tampa Bay, which sits just behind the Oakland Athletics for the final playoff spot.
