Orioles win game with no fans allowed

BALTIMORE —Baseball in Baltimore was closed to the public for one day.

The only shutout in the final score Wednesday at Camden Yards came in the attendance total: Orioles 8, White Sox 2, Fans 0.

MLB decided to play the game behind closed doors because of looting and rioting around Camden Yards that broke out amid tensions between residents and police.

The sounds of the game had been silenced.

No cheering for the Orioles, no jeering the umpires.

It stood alone in baseball history — and at 2 hours, 3 minutes, baseball might have an extreme solution for its desires to speed up the game.

The only place full besides the dugouts was the press box, where all 92 seats were taken.
