After having two home games at Camden Yards with the Chicago White Sox postponed, the Orioles announce that the teams will play their April 29 game there with no fans allowed to attend. This is the first time in MLB history that a game has been held behind closed doors.
The two postponed games will be made up as a doubleheader on May 28.
The Orioles' upcoming weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays, scheduled for Camden Yards, will instead be played at the Rays' home of Tropicana Field. The Orioles will be the designated home team for scoring purposes.
