oriole park at camden yards

Protesters will march in Baltimore this weekend during the Preakness, but unlike those outside Camden Yards during an Orioles game last month and near the Army-Navy game at M&T Bank Stadium in December, organizers do not plan to interfere with traffic near Pimlico Race Track.

The Orioles will reimburse hourly stadium employees for the wages for home games they were unable to work two weeks ago because of the Baltimore riots.

The Baltimore Orioles (14-16) hit three home runs and Orioles pitchers struck out a season-high 13 batters in a 5-2 win. It was their fourth straight win at Camden Yards, dating back to April 25.

Technically, they don't have homecoming games in baseball, but the Orioles had been away so long -- and under such strange circumstances -- that the concept was hard to resist.

The Washington Wizards proved they can beat the top-seeded Atlanta Hawks without John Wall on Saturday night, and they're likely going to have to do it again in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series tonight.

The Orioles scored four unanswered runs for a comeback, 4-2 victory over Tampa Bay to earn a series win under some of the most bizarre circumstances possible.

The riot's destruction doesn't represent Baltimore

Steve Pearce is one of the few Orioles who can say he¿s truly playing at home during this weekend¿s series against the Tampa Bay Rays.

After a week at Camden Yards that included gate closures, stadium lockdowns, back-to-back postponements and a game played void of fans behind locked gates, the Baltimore Orioles' 2-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays Friday night – a defeat that snapped a three-game winning streak – offered some level of baseball normalcy between the lines.

As a 5-year-old, I played on a vacant lot just out the back door of my family's Guilford Avenue home. I can't recall much about this piece of empty moonscape-like land except that the ground still showed traces of decaying black wood. I was told these were the long cold embers of old Oriole Park. The park burned in the early morning hours of July 4, 1944. The team then moved to the Baltimore Stadium on 33rd Street, later rebuilt as Memorial Stadium.

Answering several questions regarding how to make road games feel more like home games for Orioles after losing three dates at Camden Yards following riots in Baltimore.

Thinking about the historic no-fan day at Camden Yards

The standing-room-only press box at Camden Yards Wednesday for the closed-gate Orioles game against the Chicago White Sox meant national outlets and local reporters descended on the stadium to provide an account of a game only we had access to.

The gates to Camden Yards were locked. The Eutaw Street corridor beyond the right field fence -- full of hustle and bustle during every game day -- was bare. In deference to the pervasive unease affecting Baltimore following the death of Freddie Gray and the ensuing 10 p.m. city curfew, game time was moved to 2:05 p.m. and not a single fan was allowed through the gates. Fans were forced to take it in from an obstructed view through the sealed gates and balconies at the Hilton Baltimore.

There wasn't a single fan in the stands at Oriole Park for Wednesday's game between the Orioles and Chicago White Sox, and yet it seemed like the whole world was watching.

Watching major league baseball on TV is one of my greatest pleasures. It's like meditatation or that first glass of wine. I have been doing it several nights a week for decades.

History will be made today at Camden Yards when the Orioles play the White Sox in front of an empty ballpark.

The riots, violence and protests over the last few days in Baltimore have most people staying away from the city. Several Harford residents, however, were downtown when the violence began. John Carroll students attended their prom at the National Aquarium in Baltimore Saturday night, while a handful of others from Harford were attending, or trying to, take in an Orioles game.

After being postponed for the past two nights because of the growing unrest in Baltimore, the Orioles will resume play on Wednesday afternoon -- but no fans will be there to watch it.

The Orioles' game tonight against the Chicago White Sox has been postponed. It's the second straight game the teams will miss because of rioting downtown.

At this moment, the Orioles have yet to announce whether they will play tonight¿s game against the Chicago White Sox at Camden Yards.

Tonight's Orioles game postponed amid violence downtown

The fate of one baseball game surely does not register as particularly significant against the backdrop of the civil unrest that rocked Baltimore again on Monday, but the decision to shut down Oriole Park and make sure everybody lives to play another day was the right one for the players, fans and stadium workers.

Don't let violence define the legacy of Freddie Gray.

With violence erupting in Baltimore, Camden Yards might not be best place for Orioles and White Sox to play this week.

Fans "who may not have had the premier Oriole Park experience" at Saturday's game because of Freddie Gray protest can attend a different game for free.

In the Orioles' 18-7 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday afternoon, the Orioles certainly received a much-needed, quality performance from right-hander Bud Norris while Boston's Wade Miley imploded in a six-run third.

Buck Showalter decided not to stay the night at the park on Saturday night. On Sunday, he updated the injury prognosis of several Orioles.
