This was a day like no other in baseball history. Civil unrest in the wake of the passing of Freddie Gray, an African-American man who died while in police custody, touched the park on Saturday night, and it caused the postponement of Monday and Tuesday night's scheduled games against the White Sox. The series finale was moved up to Wednesday afternoon, and in an unprecedented move to allow police resources to be deployed where they were needed most, fans weren't allowed to attend.
