Roundup: Orioles’ Game Postponed Over Rioting in Baltimore

The Baltimore Orioles’ home game against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night was postponed because of safety concerns after riots broke out near Camden Yards following the funeral for a 25-year-old man, Freddie Gray, who died in police custody on April 19.

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, at the ballpark for a previously planned visit, said Tuesday night’s game between the Orioles and White Sox could be moved — possibly to Nationals Park in Washington — if safety continued to be a problem.

Rioters looted stores and threw rocks and bricks at the Baltimore police about three miles from the park.
