Saunders slugs 3rd HR for 8th RBI of game

BALTIMORE -- Michael Saunders grew up in Victoria, British Columbia, so leave it to the Canadian to score baseball's version of the hat trick.

Saunders homered not once, not twice, but three times during Friday night's game against the Orioles. He hit a pair of three-run shots and a two-run homer to set a new career high in RBIs with eight.
