Today at 2:05 p.m. ET, the Chicago White Sox (8-9) and Baltimore Orioles (9-10) clash at an empty Camden Yards live from Baltimore.
This game will mark the first game of the set after the first two contests of this three-match series were canceled due to the ongoing riots and violent protests in Baltimore over the death of Freddie Gray.
The Orioles were supposed to have a nine-game homestand, but they will play their next series with the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field as the home team. The White Sox have seen their seven-game road trip become one that spans five contests as they'll travel to Minnesota for a four-match set with the Twins after this.

Jeff Samardzija (1-1, 3.30 ERA) toes the rubber for Chicago while Baltimore counters with Ubaldo Jimenez, who is 1-1 with a 2.30 ERA thus far this season.
It's an interesting circumstance this afternoon as Camden Yards is closed to the public following the riots and the stadium will be completely empty when these teams clash.
Jimenez is coming off of a start where he pitched five innings and allowed four runs on six hits after a strong start to the season.
Samardzija, meanwhile, was suspended for five games for his involvement in the White Sox brawl with the Kansas City Royals, but he will pitch today because he's appealing.
Samardzija has allowed just one run in his last 19 innings and threw 113 pitches to earn his first win with the White Sox last time out.
Orioles center fielder Adam Jones is off to a fast start as he is in the Top 5 in several MLB categories. Jones ranks first in the American League in batting average (.403), second in hits (29) and runs (17) and fourth in RBI (18-tied).
First baseman Chris Davis is hitting .269 with four homers and 13 RBI, but he also ranks tied for second in the AL with 27 strikeouts.
2014 AL Rookie of the Year Jose Abreu is off to a fast start in his sophomore season, hitting .313 with five homers and 14 RBI thus far.
It's an interesting empty stadium game when the White Sox and Orioles finally clash at Camden Yards this afternoon in Baltimore.
