(Reuters) - The baseball game between the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox scheduled for Tuesday night in riot-hit Baltimore has been postponed and Wednesday's game will be closed to the public, team officials said.

The Orioles said Wednesday's scheduled 7:05 p.m. game with the White Sox would be played at 2:05 p.m. before an empty Camden Yards stadium.

Major League Baseball officials said they were not aware of any previous game being played without fan admittance.
