The Seattle Mariners and Baltimore Orioles will now open Wednesday’s game at Camden Yards with a weather delay, pushing the start time to 5:15 p.m. PT. The game had been slated to begin at 6:35 p.m. ET (3:35 p.m. in Seattle).
Thunderstorms and rain showers are moving through the Baltimore area and could linger through the evening. AccuWeather’s forecast shows a 40-50% chance of rain through 11 p.m. local time, with thunderstorms anticipated around 9 p.m. A tarp was rolled out on the field as the grounds crew worked to cover the playing surface.
In a separate note from the same day, Mariners outfielder Victor Robles doubled in his first rehab at-bat, marking a positive moment in his return from injury.
This marks the fourth consecutive weather-related delay on a Mariners road trip that has taken them through the Central and Eastern time zones. The club also dealt with a 35-minute delay in the fifth inning of the July 8 game against the Yankees in the Bronx, a 4 hour, 20 minute delay before a June 26 game with the Twins, and a 90-minute delay on May 20 at the White Sox.
Rain could also affect Thursday’s series finale, a 1:05 p.m. local start (10:05 a.m. PT) in Baltimore, with forecast models showing a 50% chance of showers around first pitch. If weather postpones Thursday’s game, there could still be a window later in the day to complete the series.
Potential makeup dates
The Mariners and Orioles share two mutual days off for the rest of the season: September 4 and September 22. If a makeup is required, September 4 appears to be the most likely option. That aligns with the Mariners’ schedule after a three-game series with the Tampa Bay Rays and a then-planned three-game set in Atlanta beginning September 5. The Orioles are in San Diego on September 3 and start a home series September 5. Baltimore’s lone off date in that stretch falls on September 22, but the Mariners have an off day between September 21 in Houston and a September 23 home game.

Additional context and what to watch
– The weather pattern in Baltimore could influence not only this game but the rest of the series; if the delay extends, outcomes and pitching decisions could shift.
– If a makeup date is needed, September 4 is the strongest candidate given both teams’ surrounding schedules.
– Fans should stay tuned for official announcements on start times and any rescheduling, as well as updates on Robles’s rehab progression and Mariners’ lineup adjustments in light of the delays.
Summary
Wednesday’s Mariners-Orioles game at Camden Yards was postponed due to weather, with a 5:15 p.m. PT start now on the table. Rain remains a possibility through the evening, and a makeup date—likely September 4—is being considered if the game cannot be completed. Victor Robles also notched a double in his first rehab at-bat, adding a positive note amid the delay.
