Does it still count as two games for the price of one when the games are only seven innings each? No one will find out on Wednesday since there’s no paid attendance. The Orioles and Marlins will play two nonetheless, and if either game gets an eighth inning they’ll have the free runner rule come into play.
This all gets stranger still since the Orioles will be the home team in the first game of the doubleheader and the road team in the second game. MLB, in rescheduling this series, decided that this was the best way to go to get two home games for the Orioles and two home games for the Marlins without leaving Baltimore.
