There will be baseball in Baltimore tomorrow, but in an effort to negate the risk to public safety due to ongoing unrest in the city, MASN’s Roch Kubatko reports that Camden Yards will be closed to the general public, and Oriole Park’s 45,000 seats will be vacant at 2:05 p.m. as the White Sox take on the Orioles in the only one of the three scheduled games in this series that will be played at this time. To make up for last night and tonight’s cancellations, a single admission double-header has been scheduled for Thursday, May 28.
The Orioles were scheduled to welcome the Tampa Bay Rays to Baltimore for a weekend series on Friday, but in light of the circumstances, that series has been moved to Tampa, where the Orioles will serve as the technical home team and recieve the gate.
As of right now, there is no word on if and how the Orioles will be compensated by the league for tomorrow’s lost revenue or the difference between what they will make in Tampa on short notice vs. what they could have expected to make in Baltimore, but baseball matters obviously aren’t foremost on the minds of the Orioles right now.
