BALTIMORE—The Orioles’ scheduled game against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night was postponed by rain. The announcement came about an hour and 45 minutes after the scheduled 7:05 p.m. starting time.

The game will be made up on August 18th at 3:05 p.m., which was a mutual offday.

The Cubs will be coming from Washington, where they’ll be concluding a series against the Nationals. The Orioles will be  returning from a series in Toronto.
