Major League Baseball has yet to set a start date for the 2020 season, which has been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the league is exploring a slate of contingencies for a return to play. One option is to host games without fans, a rare but not unprecedented move in MLB history.
The Orioles hosted the White Sox at Camden Yards without fans five years ago on Wednesday. Baltimore kept fans out of the ballpark as the city dealt with unrest following the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray.
The first two games of the late-April series were canceled due to riots following Gray's funeral.
