The Orioles will remain in contact with officials while plotting a course of action for Wednesday. Options include an earlier starting time or change in venues.

Attempts were made to play today’s game at 4 p.m., but it was deemed wiser to postpone it following last night’s rioting in the city. As I wrote previously, there’s a heavy National Guard and police presence in the Camden Yards lots this morning.
