Nationals GM Mike Rizzo: Buck Showalter, Orioles should 'quit whining' about rainout

A make-up game has only led to problems between the Orioles and Nationals, with Washington general manager Mike Rizzo telling his neighbors from up I-95 to "quit whining."

The rift stems from Thursday's game, won by Washington 6-1, that was rescheduled from May 11 due to a rainstorm that never came.

After Thursday night's loss, O's manager Buck Showalter quipped that the weather was "marginally better" than it had been in May.

Rizzo had no interest in Showalter's veiled comments as Thursday's game replaced a scheduled off day that was coming after a nine-game West Coast trip for Washington.
