- Meadows exits due to left oblique soreness - Juan Toribio, MLB.com: It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows in Baltimore yesterday.
- Yesterday was great news in the Van Gundy household:
Jeff Van Gundy on whether their parents are watching their broadcasts: “With my dad, if it interferes with a Tampa Bay Rays game, it’s 50/50. Like, they’ve heard enough of us. They’re also very heavily invested in the Rays winning the division." https://t.co/1jp1eei0l6
