ORIOLES: L.A. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh had some advice after a foul ball just missed his brother, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh, and Cal Ripken Jr. at an Orioles game. John Harbaugh ducked down and Ripken leaned away as the ball fouled off behind home plate by Detroit's Wenceel Pérez bounced between Harbaugh and Ripken on Wednesday night at Camden Yards. Jim Harbaugh says maybe there's a lesson and it is to keep your eye on the ball.
CARDINALS: 51ºÚÁÏ called up right-handed reliever Andre Granillo and outfielder Michael Siani from Triple-A Memphis, optioned right-handed pitcher Chris Roycroft to Memphis and designated outfielder Ryan Vilade for assignment Thursday.
