The day in 2015 when a game was played without fans

The New York Yankees relief and setup pitcher Zack Britton knows what it’s like to play without fans in the stands. Back in April of 2015, there was an MLB game played without fans in the stands. There was race unrest in Baltimore at that time, caused by the death of Freddie Gray while in the care of the police. The unrest was so bad that the Baltimore Orioles and MLB made the decision not to allow fans at the game between the Orioles and the Chicago White Sox due to the state of emergency issued by the city.
