UPDATED:

The Norfolk Tides’ matinee game against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp on Thursday at Harbor Park was postponed due to inclement weather.

It has been rescheduled as part of a single-admission doubleheader Friday. The first game will start at 5:35 p.m., with gates opening at 4:30. A Youth Jersey Giveaway for the first 2,000 kids 17 and under will begin at 4:30 at each entry gate.

Fans may exchange their July 25 tickets at the Harbor Park box office for any remaining regular-season home game this season.

It’s the second time this week a Tides game has been rained out. Tuesday’s series opener was postponed, and the teams played two games on Wednesday.

The Tides (47-50, 11-11 in the International League season’s second half) won the first game 6-5, while the Jumbo Shrimp (47-50, 12-10) took the second contest 1-0.

Meanwhile, the Baltimore Orioles have made several moves. They optioned pitcher Chayce McDermott back to Norfolk after he made his MLB debut Wednesday night in Miami. They also recalled infielder/outfielder Connor Norby and pitcher Bryan Baker from the Tides and placed infielder/outfielder Jorge Mateo on the 10-day injured list.
