For the second consecutive day, the Baltimore Orioles' scheduled game against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday at Camden Yards was postponed, the team announced.

There was no make-up date announced.

Monday's series opener between the Orioles and Chicago White Sox was postponed after protests in the area around Camden Yards turned violent. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, in Baltimore on a previously-scheduled trip, said it was exploring alternatives for the remainder of the series, and didn't rule out other venues, such as Nationals Park in Washington.

Monday's game was postponed about 45 minutes before the scheduled 7:05 ET start. Shortly thereafter, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake declared a weeklong, citywide curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., imperiling the 7:05 ET starts Tuesday and Wednesday.

The funeral for Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old who died while in custody of Baltimore City Police, was held Monday, and pockets of civil unrest took a violent turn as protesters clashed with police, destroyed patrol cars and looted stores.

Also, the Baltimore Ravens canceled an NFL draft party that was scheduled for Thursday night due to the city curfew.
