i'm jackie benson. we're at 7th and "g" street in northwest. take a look behind me a very peaceful protest, very spirited protest by young people, many of them appear to be college students, in what they describe as solidarity with the protoasters in baltimore. d.c. police are present in force. they are allowing these protesters to absolutely take as much time as they need in this intersection and to keep things as peaceful as possible so they can compress themselves. we'll have more for you at 11:00. >> announcer: this is the xfinity sports desk brought to you by xfinity, your home for the most live sports. a lot of stuff dianna has to talk fast. >> as we've will all been watching, the national guard patrolling the streets of baltimore, the orioles have postponed two straight home

games and they'll play tomorrow in an empty stadium. this is video of the orioles working out at camden yards this afternoon. as far as those changes, tomorrow's game has been moved up to 2:00 p.m. and will be closed to the public. this is the first time in major league baseball history. the series set to take place this weekend will now be played in st. pete. the two postponed games from yesterday and today will be made up as part of a doubleheader on may 28th. let's talk some happy news. that is the big story of the day, the fact that the caps were able to win game seven against the islanders. they are moving on to round two to face the rangers. we now know the time. here is a look at the caps/rangers second round schedule. game one this thursday in new york at 7:30. saturday game two right here on nbc 4 at 12:30. first home game on monday the 4th. then home wednesday the 6th.

then games five through seven if necessary with game six back here in d.c. game seven is either may 12th or 13th depends on the winner of the lightning/red wings series. the caps clinched their date with the rangers thanks to their 22-year-old rookie, growing up right before our eyes. he scored a beautiful game-winner. his third goal in the series. caps take the series 4-3 from the islanders. and with the wizards also advancing to the second round of the nba playoffs head coach barry trout loves to see d.c. rising. >> we need to have the positive attitudes, not the old stuff. this is a new era for basketball and hockey and baseball. we'll get that football team straightened away and then we'll go from there. all right? it's going to be contagious. i'm telling you, it will affect all the sports. >> it is contagious. everybody is feeling it. some of the wizards cannot get

away from the verizon center. john wall, paul pierce front row seats. pierce really getting into it bapging on the boards. he was heckling the islanders. really cool experience for the wizards' playoff superstar. >> i got some coaching because i never sat that close before. they said when a player comes next to the window you're supposed to hit the window. i was doing as the romans do. when you play for a city you become part of it, you know. you become one with the fans. you always run into all the other sports players. i see those guys in here in the weight room or in passing. so it's easy to support. >> i'm going to say that's his first hockey game ever. the fans were going crazy. my producer heather just told me it's his third hockey game. the big three for him. still the fact that the verizon center went nuts. almost equal to when they scored goals yesterday. >> you've got all your winners in the same arena.

>> i was yelling, too. >> we noticed. we've got two teams in the playoffs. and i am with barry trotz, so many great teams in our city even the nats on a six-game losing skid have potential. max scherzer was scheduled to pitch tonight but hurt his thumb at the plate last game. a.j. cole makes his major league debut. who's a.j. cole? he's a 6'5", right-handed pitcher, the 23-year-old with the nats fourth round pick in 2010. last season he was with triple-a syracuse. cole went 7-0 over 11 starts in this season. so far, so. the 2.40 e.r.a. in three starts. but they play the braves tonight. welcome to the big leagues, boy. >> that's the kind of guy i bet in the high school he was the captain of every team he was on. football team basketball team baseball team. >> paul pierce, too probably. >> oh, without a shadow of a doubt. and the cheerleading squad as well. >> we're staying on top of the

situation in baltimore as crowds continue to fill the streets. >> lester holt live in baltimore next on "nbc fightly news." we'll bring you updates as they come in on the nbc washington app and online
