The Baltimore Orioles announced Tuesday they would postpone the night's scheduled game against the Chicago White Sox due to the ongoing unrest in Baltimore.
The Orioles and Major League Baseball postponed Monday night's game as well after rioting broke out across the city, resulting in widespread damage and around 200 arrests. And on Saturday, Baltimore officials broadcast a message into Camden Yards asking fans to stay inside the venue as protests raged outside.
Baltimore is scheduled to play at home through Sunday, though some of those games could be postponed as well because of the city's newly imposed 10 p.m. curfew.
