Orioles announce makeup dates and times

MINNEAPOLIS - The weather has forced the Orioles into some major adjustments in their schedule.

Last night's postponed game will be played at 7:10 p.m. ET on July 28 at Target Field. The Twins allowed the Orioles to pick the starting time, since they're coming from Baltimore following a night game against the Rockies and flying out to Toronto after the one-game "series."

Manager Buck Showalter appreciated the gesture, which no longer is common in baseball.

Also, the April 9 postponed game against the Rays at Camden Yards will be made up on Saturday, June 25 as part of a split-admission doubleheader. The first game is slated for 1:05 p.m., and the second game has been pushed back from 4:05 p.m. to 7:05 p.m.

Both games will be broadcast live on MASN and the Orioles Radio Network.

Fans with tickets to the originally scheduled game on June 25 do not need to exchange their tickets to attend the 7:05 p.m. game. Tickets marked April 9 will be honored for the 1:05 p.m. game on June 25 and do not need to be exchanged. Gates for the first game will open at 11:00 a.m., and gate times for the 7:05 p.m. game will be announced at the conclusion of the first game.

The first 20,000 fans 15 and over through the gates for the 7:05 p.m. game will receive the Orioles batting practice pullover.

Fans unable to attend the makeup game can exchange their April 9 game tickets for any remaining home game this season on a "dollar-for-dollar" basis. All exchanges are subject to availability and must be completed before June 25. Complimentary tickets are non-exchangeable. StubHub tickets are also non-exchangeable and must either be used for the 1:05 p.m. game on June 25 or resold on StubHub. Prepaid parking permits dated for April 9 are valid only for the 1:05 p.m. game on June 25.

Ticket exchanges can be performed at the Box Office or submitted in writing along with the original tickets and mailed via certified mail by June 20 to:

The makeup game with the Twins has cost the Orioles a much-needed off-day. They're going to play 17 straight games after the All-Star break.

The Orioles also have a June 20 makeup game against the Rangers in Arlington. Coupled with the doubleheader versus the Rays, they must play 13 games in 13 days.
