Orioles vs. Phillies game delayed due to rain Sunday 8/02/26

Sunday’s game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Baltimore Orioles entered a rain delay during the bottom of the third inning. The grounds crew covered the field at Oriole Park at Camden Yards shortly before 2:30 p.m. ET.

Philadelphia leads 2-0 after Bryan De La Cruz launched a two-run homer against Kyle Bradish. Justin Crawford opened the scoring opportunity with a one-out double before De La Cruz drove him home.

Zack Wheeler completed two scoreless innings before the interruption. He allowed one hit, struck out three, and threw 24 of his 32 pitches for strikes. Colton Cowser was scheduled to lead off Baltimore’s third inning when play stopped.

Bradish completed three innings before the delay. He allowed two hits, two earned runs, and two walks while striking out three across 53 pitches. Neither team has announced a pitching change.

Sunday’s forecast carried a moderate delay threat before first pitch. Scattered thunderstorms were expected to develop during the middle innings, with rain probabilities increasing throughout the afternoon.

No restart time has been announced. The game remains in an early stage and has not reached the five-inning requirement for regulation status. Both teams will need to resume Sunday or complete the game later.

This story will be updated when the Orioles announce a projected restart time.
