Overview
- Wednesday’s game at Camden Yards was postponed by persistent rain, marking Baltimore’s fifth rainout of the season.
- The Orioles and Mets will play a split-admission doubleheader on Thursday with games at 12:05 p.m. and 5:05 p.m.
- Baltimore enters the contests at 40-50, with a two-game sweep putting them eight games under .500 for the first time since early May.
- Losing both games would deepen their deficit to 12 games under .500, a gap that would be difficult to overcome this late in the season.
- Recurring postponements have compounded the team’s inconsistent play and put the Orioles at a critical juncture in their season.
