Preview

Violence and rioting in Baltimore, Maryland have led officials to make changes to plans for professional baseball on Wednesday. The situation had already led to postponements of games Monday and Tuesday between the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox.

Wednesday’s game will be played with few people present other than officials and players of the teams. No fans will be permitted into the game even if they bought tickets.

Major League Baseball officials said they made the decision in the interests of public safety. The start time of the game was also changed to earlier in the day.
