In coordination with Major League Baseball, the New York Yankees have announced that the start time of tomorrow’s Yankees-Orioles game (Sunday, September 27) has been moved to 1:05 p.m. due to the current forecast of inclement weather throughout the late afternoon. All Yankee Stadium Gates will open to fans with valid tickets one hour prior to first pitch at noon (12:00 p.m.).

Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson on his down 2026: "A couple games here and there, I’ve shown it’s still in there. It’s not a matter of it just disappearing one day. It’s just the game. ... I just didn’t make that adjustment that I needed this year." mlb.com/orioles/news/gunnar-…

Orioles’ Gunnar Henderson says he’s had a right wrist issue he’s dealt with for about half the season. Feels bat knob changes he made helped him get through it. Not something he’ll need to get operated on. Just banged up and not something he wanted to use as excuse for season.

The Orioles are 79-82. They will finish with a losing record for the 2nd consecutive season.

Rece Hinds recorded the 10th game with 5+ strikeouts at the plate in Orioles history (since 1954) tonight. Here were the previous 9:

Rece Hinds is 0-for-5 with 5 strikeouts for Orioles tonight.

Dylan Beavers leads off the 9th inning with a home run -- his 9th of the season and his 2nd of today's doubleheader. (He hit his 1st career grand slam in Game 1.)

Orioles' Rece Hinds is 0-for-4 with 4 strikeouts tonight. The 26-year-old is 4-for-65 (.062) with 38 strikeouts in 72 career MLB plate appearances vs. LHPs.

Later in the 6th inning, Orioles right fielder Rece Hinds could not haul in this fly ball, which resulted in a 2-run ground-rule double for the Yankees' Anthony Volpe:

Orioles LHP Josh Walker's scoreless streak is over. The 31-year-old gives up a run for the 1st time since Aug. 2. He had tossed 18 2/3 scoreless innings over his previous 21 appearances since Aug. 6. (Also, Rece Hinds commits an error on the play.)

Brandon Young's 2026 for Orioles: 3.56 ERA in 156 2/3 IP over 28 starts. 133 K's. 1.35 WHIP. After not breaking with Baltimore out of camp, the 28-year-old RHP soon became the club's most consistent and reliable starters for a large chunk of the season. A breakout year for B.Y.

Orioles lineup for Game 2 of doubleheader vs. Yankees: 1. Beavers - DH 2. Alonso - 1B 3. Mayo - 3B 4. Jackson - 2B 5. Taveras - CF 6. Hinds - RF 7. Franklin - LF 8. Pozo - C 9. Barrero - SS Young - SP

Orioles LHP Trevor Rogers on his future: "To be honest, I would love to be back here. The business side of baseball, you never know. So, as of now, I'm going to enjoy these last couple days with the fellas and really enjoy being with the guys, and then go home and see my dog." Rogers on hitting free agency: "I earned the right to make it to free agency, I'm very happy with. Also, getting to test the market, see what that says, and that's kind of an exciting thing about the whole ordeal, I finally get a say about where I want to go. I've made it known how I feel about this place. So we'll see how the business of baseball works out." Rogers on what he's looking for: "A good, quality organization that focuses on winning, has a lot of really good talent, good coaching staff, solid fan base. That's some of the things that I look at, as far as what the future holds. It's going to be fun talking through that with teams. I'm looking forward to it."

I don’t care what @ByMattWeyrich says. This is the best ballpark in New York. Just look at this.
