In this story:


The Los Angeles Angels' series opener against the Baltimore Orioles has been delayed due to inclement weather.

The Angels are fresh off of a three-game sweep of the Athletics and hope to carry their momentum into the series against the Orioles, who sit last in the AL East.

The Angels are second in the AL West, tied with the Seattle Mariners for 4.5 games behind the division-leading Houston Astros.

Jack Kochanowicz will take the mound for the Halos in Baltimore, while the Angels will face Charlie Morton, who has a 6.59 ERA through 15 appearances in 2025.

LaMonte Wade Jr. will play left field, making his Angels debut after coming from the San Francisco Giants on June 8. This means Taylor Ward will get a rest day and will miss just his second game all season.

Angels No. 1 prospect Christian Moore is scheduled to make his MLB debut Friday at second base after playing just 79 games in the minor leagues. He will bat ninth.

Luis Rengifo, who has been filling in at second base, moves back to third base after the change.

When Will Angels vs Orioles Start on Friday?

First pitch for Angels vs. Orioles on Friday night is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. PT/8:15 p.m. ET.
