Game 1 of ALDS between Orioles and Rangers delayed by rain

The commencement of Game 1 of the American League Division Series (ALDS) pitting the Baltimore Orioles against the Texas Rangers faced a delay due to inclement weather. A rain interruption lasting 1 hour and 13 minutes occurred on Saturday, affecting the scheduled start time.

Originally slated to begin at 1:03 p.m., this timing had initially seemed adequate to avoid any overlap with a 7 p.m. concert taking place at the neighboring M&T Bank Stadium, featuring renowned artists Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks. However, the adverse weather conditions may jeopardize the timely progression of the game.

As the Orioles’ first home playoff encounter since 2014 unfolded, the temperature stood at 63 degrees Fahrenheit beneath a clear, blue sky. Kyle Bradish took the mound to deliver the game’s inaugural pitch. Additionally, former Baltimore star Adam Jones had the honor of throwing the ceremonial first pitch, while the national anthem was performed by longtime Orioles enthusiast Joan Jett.
