What's Happening?
The Major League Baseball game between the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles, originally scheduled for 6:35 p.m. ET, has been moved to 1:05 p.m. ET on Wednesday. This decision was made in consultation with Major League Baseball due to forecasted
inclement weather. Fans holding tickets for the original game time can still use them for the rescheduled game.
