The Seattle Mariners' game against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards on Wednesday night faced a weather delay due to thunderstorms sweeping through the Baltimore area. The game, initially scheduled for 6:35 p.m. ET (3:35 p.m. in Seattle), was pushed back to 5:15 PT.
According to Accuweather.com, the forecast predicted a 40-50% chance of rain with thunderstorms possible until 11 p.m. local time. This marks the fourth consecutive road trip where the Mariners have encountered weather delays in the Central and Eastern time zones. Previously, they experienced delays against the Yankees, Twins, and White Sox.
The weather could also affect Thursday's series finale, scheduled for 1:05 p.m. local time (10:05 a.m. PT). Although the chances of rain decrease in the early morning, thunderstorms and a 50% chance of rain are in the forecast near the first pitch. A potential window for playing the game might open up later in the day if the weather clears.
On a brighter note, the Mariners are looking to extend their winning streak to nine games. They currently share the top spot in the AL West with the Astros. Logan Gilbert was slated to start for the Mariners, while Trevor Rogers was to take the mound for the Orioles.
