The MLB also has MLB.tv which live streams all out-of-market games for every team.

How to Watch Orioles games free with a TV antenna

A TV antenna is the best way to watch Baltimore Orioles games that are carried on ABC and FOX for free. 

If you have a TV antenna handy, but haven’t used it in a while, plug it into your television’s coax port and scan for channels. FOX broadcasts games throughout the regular season. ABC becomes a key channel for post-season games.
