A 30-second video review reversed home-plate umpire Chad Fairchild’s assertion that a down-and-in slider from Chicago White Sox right-hander Ervin Santana had plunked Orioles right fielder Stevie Wilkerson.

After months of mock drafts, the wait is nearly over. The Ravens will make their first pick in the NFL draft Thursday night. That might take awhile, too. The first round figures to buzz with trade activity, and Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta could look to move down from No. 22 overall to address...

Here’s how much Eric DeCosta cares about the NFL draft. A few years back, during the Ravens’ all-day scouting preparations, he used a 15-minute break to meet Kevin Byrne, the team’s executive vice president of public and community relations, for a brisk game of racquetball. Almost immediately,...
