White Sox-Orioles start time moved up due to inclement weather

The start time for Friday’s game between the Chicago White Sox and host Baltimore Orioles was moved up to 4:30 p.m. ET due to expected inclement weather in the area, MLB announced.

The game originally was scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m. ET.

Baltimore will send Zach Eflin (3-2, 5.40 ERA) to the mound against Chicago’s Sean Burke (3-5, 4.33) in a battle of right-handers.

The White Sox are coming off Wednesday’s 9-4 victory against the New York Mets that snapped the team’s six-game losing streak in road games.

The Orioles lost the final two contests of a three-game series at home against the St. Louis Cardinals prior to Thursday’s day off.
