Andrew Cashner was pitching well, Mark Trumbo hit a two-run bomb, and the Orioles appeared to be cruising to a rare road win. Then came the rain. Nearly three hours later, the Orioles took the field and picked up where they left off. Baltimore shut out the Nationals, 3-0, and picked up its first win of the year against Washington.
The Orioles took control of the game in the top of the second. Jonathan Schoop led off with a rare bunt down the third baseline that saw him reach without a throw.
