On Wednesday afternoon, the Orioles made history by playing a ballgame closed to the public. The decision was made in response to the Baltimore riots.
The show must go on. The Birds beat the White Sox 8-2 in front of an empty stadium. It's the first time there have been zero fans in attendance for a Major League Baseball game. Check out all behind-the-scenes looks of the historical game at Camden Yards.

#WhiteSox Johnson says empty stadium's "just not how baseball is (supposed) to be played." http://t.co/en4K9bRarg pic.twitter.com/fymG0gDTpv
