Rain Forces Baseball Game to Switch Days

Baltimore, USASunday, May 24, 2026

The Postponement

Major League Baseball fans were met with soaked disappointment Friday night as a marquee matchup between two rivals was called off due to relentless rain. The game, originally penciled in for Saturday afternoon, will now serve as the opening act of Sunday’s doubleheader.

What Changes for Fans?

  • Saturday ticket holders must return the next day—the first pitch now slated for 12:35 p.m. (one hour earlier than originally planned).
  • Second game of the doubleheader starts at 6:05 p.m. Sunday.
  • Ballpark entry for the early game won’t open until 11:30 a.m.
  • No baseball, no fun: Family-friendly events—including autograph sessions and post-game running drills—have been canceled.
  • Bummer for little sluggers: Kids hoping for extra diamond time will have to wait for the next home stand.

Still Want Out?

Can’t make it Sunday? The team’s website has refund or exchange options for fans seeking alternatives.

The Giveaways?

Bust out the bobbleheads—fans entering the 6:05 p.m. game will still score the special figurines.

Mother Nature’s Call

Baseball’s enduring charm lies in its unpredictability. Teams prepare for delays, yet loyal fans still show up dreaming of a flawless nine innings. This weekend proved just how quickly even the best-laid plans can dissolve under nature’s whims.
