A post-trade deadline world involves a lot of moving pieces. The Orioles will take chances on waiver claims and young talent, hoping to find diamonds in the rough. Who knows if Ryan Noda will be a flier that becomes a piece.

The Orioles managed to put together another late rally, but this time the Cubs punched back. After orchestrating a late comeback to beat the Cubs on Saturday, Baltimore showed more of the same fight by erasing 2-0 and 3-2 deficits to send Sunday afternoon’s game to the ninth inning tied.
