New York held Baltimore solidarity marches as the city’s baseball team won in a fan-free stadium.

Sofia Vergara’s ex explained his side in the frozen embryo dispute.

Baltimore Orioles won

But nobody was watching, apart from a few people standing on the balcony at a hotel overlooking Camden Yards stadium. The baseball team played Chicago White Sox in the first ever MLB game to be played behind closed doors, for security reasons.
