Tarp Removed at Camden Yards; Orioles Say Short Delay Before Yankees Game
The tarp is coming off at Camden Yards, per Bryan Hoch, with the Orioles saying a short rain delay is expected before tonight's Yankees-Orioles game.
The tarp is coming off at Camden Yards, per Yankees beat reporter Bryan Hoch, and the Orioles say a short delay is expected before tonight's game against New York.
How short is short? That part remains unspecified. Earlier reporting had flagged the possibility of an extended delay and noted that postgame festivities could be at risk — so the situation bears watching even as the grounds crew gets to work.
The delay lands on a night that already carried some operational interest: Samuel Basallo was reinstated by Baltimore and inserted into the lineup against the Yankees, per earlier reporting, making his return to the field the other thread worth tracking once play actually begins.
