BALTIMORE — Less than an hour before the scheduled first pitch, Friday’s game between the Orioles and Oakland Athletics was postponed due to inclement weather.
The contest will be made up as part of a split-admission doubleheader beginning at 1:05 p.m. on Saturday. The second game will be played at the originally-scheduled 7:05 p.m. slot with separate admission required for each game.
Ubaldo Jimenez was originally scheduled to start Friday’s game, but he will pitch the nightcap of the doubleheader with Mike Wright, Saturday’s original starter, getting the ball for Game 1.
Both games will be televised on MASN2.
Friday marked the second postponement at Oriole Park at Camden Yards this season and the Orioles’ third postponed game overall this season.
Below is more information released by the Orioles regarding the postponement:
