Saturday’s game between the Detroit Tigers and Baltimore Orioles has been postponed because of inclement weather and will be made up Sunday as part of a split doubleheader.
The teams played through the rain on Friday night at Camden Yards, and the forecast of rain into Saturday night led to the decision to call off the game more than three hours before the scheduled first pitch.
“After playing through continuous rain during last night’s game and in consideration of field conditions,” the game was postponed, the Orioles said in a statement.
The first game Sunday is scheduled for 12:35 p.m., and the second game is set to start at 6:05 p.m. Brandon Young (Game 1) and Trevor Rogers are the scheduled starting pitchers for the Orioles. Young will be opposed by Framber Valdez, and the Tigers’ Game 2 starter is listed as TBA.
Baltimore beat Detroit 7-4 on Friday night to end a three-game losing streak. The Tigers have dropped seven straight, 10 of 11 and 15 of their last 17 games.
The Orioles are in last place in the AL East, and Detroit is in the cellar of the AL Central.
