first. first inning, 1-0. chris davis crushes a three-one bomb. no one there to catch it. the fans outside were pumped. orioles scored six runs in the first to take a 6-0 lead. to the fifth, now up 7-2, more long ball. this time manny machado, solo homer in the bullpen. orioles win 8-2, the official attendance though zero. with more on today's game we welcome in brent harris. a gorgeous but surreal day. what was it like to watch that kind of had history. >> reporter: what stood out was just how eerily quiet it was inside camden yards. 46,000 empty seats will that have effect. what you did hear were baseball sounds. the crack of the bat was so loud you could hear the players talking to each other and the play-by-play announcers throughout the stadium and you could hear that small group of

fans just outside the stadium in left center field. they were loud and they were loud throughout the game. and the players inside the stadium took notice of their support. >> they weren't in the stands but they were out at the hotel, you could see them on the balcony, hear them outside the gates. a lot of people were telling me to look at the check-ins on facebook. there were people supporting just not inside the stadium. >> you could hear them screaming. it's very appreciated to know that they're out there cheering for us. we could definitely hear you guys and we appreciate you guys supporting us. >> maybe the most unique moment of the day was a 7th inning stretch, no fans in the stands. they played it anyway how. carol, the orioles tried to keep everything as normal as possible but let's be honest there was nothing normal about this game here today. >> that's right. brent harris thank you so much from camden yards.

i know buck showwalter was saying he might get them in trouble because the ump could hear him. >> you better watch what you say, everybody could hear. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. over to the nationals. last night dan uggla helping his new team complete a crazy comeback against his old team. 3 for 5, including that go ahead three-run shot in the 9th. the nats trailed but they win 13-12. guess what he earns? did you see this? a chocolate sauce shower from max scherzer. i think that's a new thing they're doing. these two teams back at it tonight. >> go back to the pies. >> they do the gatorade shower. >> i think i'd rather have lemon meringue. >> jordan zimmerman on the mound and they go back at it tonight. so we meet again. capitals rangers in the playoffs fourth time in the

past five years they'll face each other including the last two playoffs which handed at the hands of those rangers. the caps are due and they know it. >> get a chance to try and get redemption. they've handled us pretty good the last few years we've been in. this is the ultimate challenge for us. >> you can see there was a couple games in the regular season that we played and they really caught us on our heels. we're facing the present trophy winners but we don't feel like we're overmatched. we feel it's going to be extremely good hockey and a series we're capable of winning. >> we have two major events going on tomorrow and we have you covered. diana is going to be in chicago at the nfl draft. redskins have the fifth pick and i'll be in new york as the caps and rangers due battle in the eastern conference semifinals game one. looking at that i'm like who wore it better. >> great picture. that was a fantastic picture. >> collecting frequent flier miles. way to go. >> we're keeping an eye on this large rally in downtown baltimore. there's a live picture.
