The plane taking the Orioles from Baltimore to Tampa Bay on Sunday night was diverted to Jacksonville because of smoke in the forward galley.

A spokesman for the Jacksonville Aviation Authority said the plane was inspected and deemed OK to fly.

In a statement, the Orioles said, "Due to a minor incident in the galley, the Orioles' charter made an unscheduled landing in Jacksonville, Florida en route to St. Petersburg tonight. After the plane was inspected, all crew and passengers re-boarded and flew to St. Petersburg without further incident. This unscheduled landing was done with an abundance of caution and at no time was anyone on the flight in danger."
