Well, the Orioles have to wait a day to play their first 2018 home game against the New York Yankees.

Thursday night’s opener of a four-game series was delayed for roughly two hours before being officially postponed around 9 p.m.

It has been rescheduled as the first game of a single-admission doubleheader on Monday, July 9 starting at 4 p.m.

Fans with tickets to Thursday’s postponement will be emailed an offer in the coming days to attend a future Orioles game in 2018.

The Orioles and Yankees were originally scheduled to play three series this season: four games this week, three games in July and three in August.

That schedule could be altered dramatically, however, because the weather this weekend also does not look particularly promising for baseball.

  • This series is a mismatch like I've never seen the O's be involved in. I'll hold my breath as it continues Friday night.

    • Oh. There have been worse. Go back to Yanks-Os in 2001-2003. It’s almost laughable. The Orioles aren’t producing but have more talent than those early 2000 teams. And those juggernaut Yankee teams were mind-numbing.
