As they say, that escalated quickly.
The good news about this rainy mess for the Orioles is that the Rangers have indicated that, if it's looking like a start that could be interrupted by rain delay, they will not be having Yu Darvish start the game, so as to save him for a game where he wouldn't be interrupted by weather. That would send Scott Baker to the mound instead. That sounds like the name of someone who sucks and yet inexplicably dominates the Orioles for five innings.
Baker has given up eight home runs in 40.1 innings, so there's that.
