There will be no Orioles baseball played at Camden Yards on March 31. With no new Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiated in advance of the MLB-imposed 5pm deadline on Tuesday, the league chose to cancel the first two series of the season rather than end the lockout it is imposing on the players. Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the cancellations in a press conference as the deadline passed.
The cancellation of two series means the Orioles first home and road series are wiped out. Games scheduled for March 31, April 2 and 3 at home against the Blue Jays, and April 4-6 on the road against the Red Sox, are gone.
