The start of Tuesday's Mets-Orioles game has been delayed due to inclement weather in Baltimore.
First pitch at Oriole Park at Camden Yards is scheduled to take place at around 7:20 p.m. on SNY.
Clay Holmes (8-4, 2.99 ERA) will take the mound for New York, while Brandon Young (0-3, 7.02 ERA) will start for Baltimore in the first game of a three-game series.
The Mets' lineup on Tuesday night will also feature Jesse Winker for the first time since May 4 as he was activated earlier Tuesday and Starling Martewas placed on the IL.
Holmes allowed two runs on three hits over 5.1 IP against the Milwaukee Brewers last time out on July 2 and pitched to a no decision, as he's 3-1 with a 2.79 ERA with 23 strikeouts over his last seven starts (38.2 IP). While many starters will be having their last outing before the All-Star break, manager Carlos Mendoza said prior to the game that Holmes will throw again on Sunday in the series finale against the Kansas City Royals. It's undetermined if he or Sean Manaea, who'll make his season debut, will get the start.
Young, 26, is making just his fourth start of his career. He made his debut on April 26 against the Detroit Tigers, but was then sent back down to Triple-A. He returned to the bigs on June 25 vs. the Texas Rangers and most recently started on July 1, also against the Rangers, allowing three runs on six hits over four innings.
