Baltimore Orioles close park to public for Wednesday's game

The Baltimore Orioles have announced they will play their scheduled game against the Chicago White Sox Wednesday afternoon. However, the game will be closed to the public.

The Orioles canceled Monday night's game and today's game after violent protests to the Freddie Gray police brutality case took place near the Orioles' Camden Yards this week.
