The O's and Red Sox game was postponed due to rain on Tuesday night, and the Birds flew back to Baltimore to begin an eight-game homestand on Wednesday night.
Zach Britton, scheduled to start in Boston on Tuesday night, will take the mound against the Yankees on Wednesday night at Camden Yards. That is, if the weather holds up...there's an 80 percent chance of precipitation in Baltimore on Wednesday. The O's and Yankees have already had two games postponed this season, once at Camden Yards and once at Yankee Stadium...
The Birds return home with a 2-2 record on this last road-trip...after taking two-of-three against Tampa Bay the O's dropped a heart-breaker on Monday night at Fenway Park. The Orioles host the second-place Yankees for two games before taking on the Washington Nationals over the weekend to kick-off Interleague play. After an off-day on Monday the O's take on the Royals for three games before hitting the road again...
In other news, Derrek Lee may hit the 15-day DL due to his strained oblique suffered in Monday night's defeat. Lee left the game in the third inning and was initially considered day-to-day, but the Orioles aren't going to take any chances with it (this is the same injury that kept J.J Hardy out for a month). The Birds have a few options at first base but will wait to see if Wednesday's game is played before making any roster moves...
