ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles will play a single-admission doubleheader Tuesday with Hurricane Dorian looming.

Wednesday's finale of a three-game series at Tropicana Field was moved up to Tuesday.

The Class A Florida State League and rookie-level Gulf Coast League have ended their seasons early due to the hurricane.
