Tonight's game between the Orioles and Rays is over before it started.

The tarp came off the field, it returned as a wintry mix began to fall again and the Orioles just announced a postponement due to inclement weather. Not a single pitch was thrown.

No makeup date has been announced, but the Rays are back here on June 24-26.

Mike Wright likely will have his start pushed back to Sunday, when the temperature is supposed to climb into the low 50s and there's no rain in the forecast. Same with Tampa Bay left-hander Drew Smyly.

Vance Worley was supposed to make his Orioles debut on Sunday. Outfielder Hyun Soo Kim was expected to be in the lineup for the first time, but his debut may be put on hold with a southpaw pitching.

Update: The Orioles announced that Worley will start Sunday. The Rays are starting Jake Odorizzi. The original Sunday matchup holds.

If fans wish to attend Sunday's game, they will need to exchange their tickets from tonight at the Camden Yards box office. Windows will open at 11 a.m.

Fans unable to attend Sunday's game are encouraged to keep their tickets until a makeup date is announced. If fans cannot attend the makeup date, tonight's tickets may be exchanged for any remaining Orioles home game this season on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

All exchanges are subject to availability and must be completed by June 25. Complimentary tickets are non-exchangeable. StubHub tickets are also non-exchangeable and must either be used for the makeup date or resold on StubHub once a makeup date is determined.
