The Orioles announced on Tuesday afternoon that they would play their Wednesday game against the White Sox — but that it would be closed to the public.

The game will take place at 2:05 p.m and will be played in an empty stadium.

They will play a series this weekend at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida acting as the home team, they said.

The decision follows riots in Baltimore on Monday night.
