Orioles Host Turnstile Night
The Baltimore Orioles dedicated a home game at Camden Yards to Turnstile, the city's Grammy-winning hardcore band, ahead of the group's forthcoming tour with several supporting acts. The tribute night celebrated the band in their hometown, with members taking part in on-field activities and the ballpark playing Turnstile and Turnstile-related music throughout the game.
The event had been announced in April, and a Special Ticket Package was meant to include a limited-edition Turnstile-themed Orioles jersey, but a supply chain issue meant the jerseys did not arrive in time; the new pickup date is 22 August, when package holders will also receive a complimentary ticket. On the night, the band threw out the first ceremonial pitches and acted as guest "splashers" in outfield sections 84 and 86, and the Orioles went on to beat the Kansas City Royals.

- Orioles held a Turnstile-themed night at Camden Yards.
