The Baltimore Orioles are giving away free tickets to fans in their "Bird Bath" section after a promotional mix-up involving Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers. The team had promoted Flowers as a guest splasher for Saturday's game, but later changed plans, leaving fans disappointed. In a letter, the Orioles apologized, explaining that Flowers was at Oriole Park for a jersey giveaway and threw the first pitch, but the splashing role was altered.

The team admitted they should have communicated the change directly to ticketholders. To make amends, they are offering complimentary tickets to a future game, starting with the final homestand of the season.
