BALTIMORE _ The Orioles' scheduled interleague game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night at Camden Yards was postponed by inclement weather and will be made up on July 12.
The postponement was made after the start of the game was delayed by three hours and 10 minutes.
With rain remaining the forecast Wednesday, the start time for Wednesday's afternoon game between the Orioles and Phillies was moved up from 12:35 p.m. to 12:05 p.m. to help accommodate getting the game in before bad weather hits.
Tickets for Tuesday's rained-out game will be automatically honored for the makeup game. No exchange is necessary, and fans should bring their original tickets to the ballpark gates for admission to the July 12 game.
Those fans who are unable to attend the makeup game can exchange their tickets toward any remaining home game this season, subject to availability.
The gametime for the make-up game will be announced at a later date.
The start of Tuesday's game was delayed just before the scheduled first pitch, but it was clear a delay was imminent because neither starting pitcher started warming up _ a practice that usually begins about 30 minutes before first pitch _ and both bullpens were empty.
While dark clouds began rolling in immediately, it didn't begin raining until about an hour into the delay, even though fans had already been instructed to seek cover because of the threat of lightning.
Right-hander Andrew Cashner, who was slated to start Tuesday's game, is now slated to start Wednesday. Miguel Castro was slated to start that game.
