Orioles Game Delayed; First Pitch Rescheduled to Approximately 6:55 p.m.
Baltimore's game is starting late after a short weather delay, per the club; first pitch is now targeted for approximately 6:55 p.m.
The Baltimore Orioles announced that tonight's game will begin with a short delay following discussions with Major League Baseball and the National Weather Service, with first pitch now scheduled for approximately 6:55 p.m.
The club noted it will provide further updates as they become available, and flagged that if the delay extends, postgame festivities may be affected — though the full details of that contingency were cut off in the announcement.
What remains unconfirmed
The specific weather conditions prompting the delay were not detailed in the club's post, and no revised start time beyond the approximately 6:55 p.m. target has been given. Whether the game proceeds as scheduled from that point is still to be determined.
The delay lands with Baltimore in the middle of a stretch that has carried some operational weight — Samuel Basallo was reinstated and inserted into the lineup against the Yankees just days prior, and Pete Alonso earned AL Player of the Week honors earlier this week. The weather, at least for now, is the only thing standing between the Orioles and first pitch.
