What happened: The Orioles' official account posted about a 'polar bear sighting' in Baltimore on Sunday, sharing an image with no further detail. The post arrived as Baltimore hosts Kansas City, leading the series 2-0 entering the day's game.
Why it matters: Baltimore enters Sunday having won four of its last five meetings with Kansas City, part of a stretch that comes as the club continues evaluating its roster ahead of the trade deadline. The lighthearted post offers a break from those deadline conversations.
By the numbers: The Orioles are 44-51 this season, having won a 6-1 game Saturday and a 5-3 game Friday against Kansas City. The Royals are 38-57 and have lost three straight.
What to watch: Kansas City and Baltimore play again Sunday, with the Orioles favored and the total set at 9.5 runs.
