Nothing makes Father's Day special like being able to spend a little extra dough for a gift or even a special day with the pops. But where will that extra money come from? Daily fantasy on DraftKings, that's where.

Summer is the worst time for fantasy baseball players to take a vacation.

After watching the standings experience daily seismic shifts early in the season, some clarity will now form. A team staring at fourth place for the past three weeks now knows playing the waiting game won't get the job done.

Besides, baseball is now the only game in town with the NBA and NHL entering offseason mode. Fantasy football draft preparation can wait a while longer.

The Baltimore Orioles set a single-game franchise record by hitting eight home runs in Tuesday's 19-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, per Sportsnet Stats.

It didn't take long for the onslaught to start, with Orioles third baseman Manny Machado leading off the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot to deep left field.

Manny Machado showed the upside early.

He showed why his major league debut was an anticipated event. He showed why so many scouts and the Baltimore Orioles believed he could be great. He proved he was well worthy of being the third overall pick in the 2010 draft.

There are two things that get Texas Rangers star Prince Fielder a big ovation from his teammates and fans: his power and spectacular bloopers.

The latter just happened to earn him his latest big cheer.

In the bottom of the first inning of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland lined a base hit to left field. Fielder, with two outs, was off at the crack of the bat. 

When the latest update for the American League All-Star voting was revealed Monday afternoon, millions of fans jumped for joy...

...in Kansas City.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are leading the Los Angeles Angels 1-0 Tuesday in a West Coast interleague battle. 

Boston Red Sox utility player Brock Holt hit for the cycle in Tuesday's 9-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves.

Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald noted how long it had been since a Boston player accomplished the feat:

Stealing signs just became so Flannel Era. In its first spectacular scandal of the Digital Age, Major League Baseball now is facing the possibility that one of its most decorated organizations is guilty of stealing proprietary information.

Long ago, hardball met hard drive. But while analytic minds poked and prodded and smartly developed cutting-edge statistics like WAR, never was the security of a club like the Houston Astros threatened.

Now it is the St. Louis Cardinals who are in danger of crashing.

According to a New York Times report, the St. Louis Cardinals are being investigated by the FBI after being accused of hacking into the Houston Astros' internal networks.
