For the Orioles, Sundays mean rain.<\/p>\n

The start of the Orioles’ game against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon has been delayed because of potential rain at Camden Yards. The delay marks the third straight Sunday on which the Orioles’ game has been hindered by rain.<\/p>\n

The game, originally scheduled for 1:35 p.m., will only be delayed until 2 p.m., the Orioles announced shortly after the grounds crew put the tarp on the field. Weather forecasts show the potential for pockets of rain in Baltimore throughout the afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n

With only a few days before Thursday’s trade deadline, the Orioles (46-58) are hosting the MLB-worst Rockies (27-77) at Camden Yards this weekend. The Rockies came back from down 4-0 to win the series opener<\/a> Friday, while the Orioles won a laugher Saturday, 18-0, for the largest shutout victory in franchise history<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Baltimore has already begun selling off players on expiring contracts, and that’s expected to continue through Thursday. Ryan O’Hearn, Cedric Mullins and Charlie Morton are among the players most expected to be traded.<\/p>\n

Tomoyuki Sugano is another Orioles trade piece, but he’s struggled recently after an excellent start to his rookie campaign. Sugano starts Sunday opposite Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber. Lefty hitters Jackson Holliday, Colton Cowser and Ryan O’Hearn were all given days off against Gomber.<\/p>\n
