Rain wipes out Orioles-Red Sox nightcap; new Fenway doubleheader set for Saturday – The Boston Globe

Rain put the kibosh on Friday’s scheduled nightcap, meaning the Red Sox and Orioles will prepare for another separate-admission doubleheader Saturday.

Tickets for Friday night’s game will be valid for Saturday’s first game, which will start at 1:05 p.m. The second game was pushed back and will now start at 6:35 p.m.

The teams were washed out Thursday, but were able to get in nine innings Friday afternoon, a 19-5 Red Sox victory.

The Red Sox will use Hunter Dobbins, Saturday’s scheduled starter, in the opener and Lucas Giolito, who was scheduled to start Friday’s nightcap, in Game 2.

Zach Eflin, who was scheduled to pitch Saturday, will start Game 1 for the Orioles while Game 2 is listed as TBD.
