The Orioles win a game in eerie silence as they defeat the White Sox, 8 – 2, with no fans present at Camden Yards.

2015 – Today’s scheduled game between the Orioles and the White Sox is postponed because of violent protests in downtown Baltimore, MD, following the death of a black man in police custody a week earlier.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has also decreed a week-long curfew from 10 PM to 5 AM, making the playing of two scheduled night games problematic.
