Everything was clicking for the Orioles on Sunday afternoon as they withstood a lengthy rain delay, put forth their best offensive effort on the year, and got another solid start from Jordan Lyles in a 9-5 win over the visiting Red Sox.
This was about as good as Lyles has looked in an Orioles uniform. As is his style, there weren’t many smooth innings, in fact it was often a struggle, but the outcome was ideal. The veteran tossed six innings and allowed just one run despite serving up seven hits and walking three.
Runners reached base against Lyles in every inning but the sixth.
