The Orioles haven’t played in front of their home fans since April 25, when the civil unrest following the death of Freddie Gray engulfed the city and areas near Camden Yards during a game against the Red Sox. The team postponed its April 27 matchup against the White Sox and played a game without fans in the stands two days later.

"We understand it's just a game," Orioles reliever Zach Britton told MLB.com. "There are other bigger things going on out there. If anything, the fact that we can come home and play again, have our fans here, maybe get some people's focus off what was going on out there. Just enjoy baseball again."

The Orioles will play 15 of their next 18 games at home.

Schumacher's son wins F4 race

There was a familiar sight for motorsport fans as a smiling Schumacher splashed champagne on the podium. Not Formula One legend Michael, who is still recovering from serious head injuries suffered in a 2013 skiing accident, but his teenage son Mick -- who impressed on his debut in the new F4 series. The 16-year-old was named best rookie for his heroics on the first day of racing at the Oschersleben track, between Hanover and Berlin and rounded off the weekend Sunday with a superb victory. Starting second on the grid, he took the lead and controlled the race from the front without making any mistakes. His victory followed a 12th place in the morning racing. "Of course, I'm over-joyed, my first weekend of racing couldn't have gone any better," Schumacher said. "All in all, I am completely happy over the start of the season and I am looking forward to the next race." With Michael Schumacher still recovering from a serious head injury suffered during a skiing a

Aussie beats his hero Federer

In addition to beating then-world No. 1 Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon last July, the 20-year old defied expectations to down the Swiss master at the Madrid Open with a stunning 6-7 (7-2) 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (14-12) victory. The weight of meeting one of his childhood heroes on court did not appear to bow Kyrgios, who beat the elder statesman, and one of the most successful players in the history of the sport, in just over two and a half hours. "Before the match I didn't feel nervous or anything like that," said Kyrgios, who on Sunday missed out on his first top-level title when he was beaten in the Estoril Open final in Portugal. "I was just excited to get out to the court. I've been playing well recently on the clay, so I knew I had a good chance to go out there and do well. I stuck to my game and served well and I got the win." After the younger player -- ranked 35th in the world -- broke his serve in the first game, Federer used his greater maturity to steady the s
