Baltimore Mayor Asks Fans to Stay Inside Camden Yards Amid Protests

During a game between the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards on Saturday, protests in the city of Baltimore caused Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to urge fans at the stadium to remain there for the time being.

Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun tweeted out a picture of Mayor Rawlings-Blake's message that appeared on the Camden Yards video scoreboard:

The gates to leave the stadium appear to have been locked at some point, as Encina later confirmed that the gates were reopened.
