Rain delay in Baltimore knocks Zack Wheeler out after two innings

BALTIMORE — Phillies starter Zack Wheeler waited to emerge from the visiting dugout for the bottom of the third. The Orioles grounds crew was working quickly to make a totally drenched infield playable. Wheeler came back out, but walked back in with his teammates. A long rain delay in Baltimore ensued. When it was nearly over, Phillies reliever Kyle Backhus walked to the center field bullpen. He took the mound for the Phillies in the third.

Thanks to the rain, Wheeler’s start day turned into a bullpen game. The one hour, 49-minute delay knocked Wheeler out of the game after two innings. The veteran right-hander allowed one hit and struck out three. He exited the game with a 2-0 lead on a Bryan De La Cruz two-run home run, but did not pitch the required five innings to earn the win.

Sitting just 1.5 games back froma Wild Card spot, the O’s look to win an important rubber match vs. the Phillies.

Probable pitchers: RHP Kyle Bradish (7-9, 3.74 ERA, 114 Ks) vs. RHP Zack Wheeler (10-2, 2.53 ERA, 123 Ks)

This afternoon, and for the third series in a row, the Orioles head into a Game 3 rubber match that has the feeling of a playoff game. Last Sunday, Baltimore tied the game late against the Braves only to come up short after 11 innings. Four days ago in Detroit, the O’s mounted a historic comeback to steal the rubber match in a dramatic 12-inning affair. Let’s all hope that, in today’s game, the Orioles can buck that trend and win in fewer than 13 innings.
