With the Baltimore area under a flash flood watch until early Friday morning and storms coming in from western Maryland, the Orioles and Yankees game didn’t start at 7:05 p.m. as scheduled Thursday night because of the threat of rain.
According to the National Weather Service, storms could dump 2 to 4 inches of rain in some areas as both thunderstorms and showers continue until 2 a.m.
With that in mind, the team delayed the start of the game so as not to get the respective starting pitchers — Andrew Cashner and Sonny Gray — warmed up without the game set to begin on time.
