But it was also in large part because their pitcher, right-hander Jordan Lyles, dueled head-to-head evenly with Cole for his second straight start.

NEW YORK – The constant hunt for pitching has led the Orioles to right-hander Chris Vallimont. Vallimont was claimed off waivers today from the Twins and optioned to Double-A Bowie. Room was created on the 40-man roster by transferring pitcher Alexander Wells to the 60-day injured list with a Grade 1 UCL strain. Vallimont, 25, was designated for as
