Angels-Orioles start time: Rain delay updates from Camden Yards

Update, 10:12 p.m. ET: We'll have more baseball! The Orioles have announced that play will resume at around 10:35 p.m. ET, after another rain delay of more than an hour.

Update, 9:32 p.m. ET: Mother Nature really does not want to see baseball in Baltimore tonight. After the start of this game was delayed for a little over an hour by rain, the weather wreaked havoc again, leading to another rain delay in the bottom of the fifth inning. The Orioles have yet to announce a restart time, so we're in wait-and-see mode for now.

Baltimore is still insisting that expects to finish this game tonight, though, despite heavy rain falling currently. So that's something?

Original post: Friday's Apple TV showdown between the Los Angeles Angels and Baltimore Orioles was originally set for a 7:05 p.m. ET start. However, the elements had other ideas, interrupting the beginning of this three-game series of American League foes.

Per an official announcement from the Orioles, their battle with L.A. is delayed due to inclement weather. The club didn't offer much in the way of information beyond that, adding that more details will be provided "as [they] become available." A storm is reportedly brewing in Baltimore, meaning fans may not see these two teams take the field for a while.

Angels-Orioles rain delay updates: When will play resume?

Baltimore's X (formerly known as Twitter) account announced that the first pitch is scheduled for "approximately" 8:15 p.m. ET. While it's later than initially expected, spectators at Camden Yards will ultimately get their fix of live baseball.

Mother Nature has her sights on Charm City, according to Matt Weyrich of the Baltimore Sun. The Orioles reporter also noted that the tarp has been rolled onto the Camden Yards field. With that in mind, Angels starting pitcher Jack Kochanowicz must wait a little longer to take the mound.

The Angels and Orioles were presumably eager to take the diamond; play being suspended is an unfortunate reality. Both teams have found their stride of late and carry momentum into a clash with sudden AL Wild Card implications, at least for Los Angeles. Baltimore is still climbing out of an early-season hole, but it's slowly turned a corner.

Forecast for Angels vs. Orioles on June 13

AccuWeather's forecast calls for a 35 percent chance of thunderstorms and that the rain in Baltimore will end around 8 p.m. ET. In other words, those in attendance may want to get up, use the restroom, and grab a refreshment and some food. Of course, these things are subject to change, but this system figures to pass soon enough. Whenever it does, the Orioles and Angels can kick off the action.

Los Angeles has gone 16-9 since May 16, entering the mix for the AL West crown. Meanwhile, the Orioles have come out on top in 11 of their past 18 ballgames, including a recent six-game winning streak. Nonetheless, each squad still has more work to be done, with their head-to-head bout presenting an opportunity to continue doing so.
