Yankees-Orioles postponed Sunday: When's the makeup?

UPDATED 12:01 p.m.

Sunday's Yankees-Orioles game has been postponed due to rain.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Aug. 25 that will start at 1:05 p.m. The second game will start as scheduled at 7:05 p.m.

"This seems wild," manager Aaron Boone said. "I've never looked at weather reports and radar so much in my life. I'm not getting any better at reading them, either."

UPDATED 10:52 p.m. Saturday:

The Yankees got a break Saturday. Despite forecasts that made it seem like they had no chance at playing, the rain held out, and they were able to beat the Orioles, 8-5.

Here's the National Weather Service's forecast for Sunday for Baltimore's Inner Harbor, as of late Saturday night:

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the team was a bit more optimistic this morning than they were last night that they'll play this afternoon.

But it's still far from a sure thing. The tarp was rolled out onto the field at about 2:45 p.m.
