Down on the farm, catcher Chance Sisco hit his first professional home run today for the Gulf Coast League team. Sisco, the Orioles’ second-round pick in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft out of Santiago (Ca.) High School, is batting .372.

Cal Ripken Jr. is 53 today. Like I need another reason to feel old.
