6) News and Notes: With his eighth-inning double on Saturday, Cal Raleigh now leads baseball in go-ahead RBI in the seventh inning or later with four.
7) What to Watch For: Daniel Kramer of MLB.com is reporting that Jonatan Clase has a locker with the team in Baltimore. That could signal that Jorge Polanco is headed to the injured list, which the team has been trying to avoid.
