Rambunctious fans, anxious players and willing staff filled Camden Yards on Monday, April 4 for the Baltimore Orioles Opening Day against the Minnesota Twins.
After announcing the opening line-up, Maryland State Senator Bobby Zirkin threw the first pitch and then came the rain delay.

After two scoreless innings, the tarp was back on the field less than an hour later. Camden Yards called last call for alcohol sales and fans proceeded to exit the building. Shortly after, it was announced the game would resume at about 6:30 p.m.
The Orioles came back with two runs in a row and then were matched by the Twins for a 2-2 score. With only a few innings left in the game, the O’s came back with one, making the final score for Monday’s game 3-2 with an Orioles victory.
