NEW YORK ¿ Steve Pearce is again not in the Orioles lineup for tonight¿s game against the Mets at CitiField.

The 41-year-old Bartolo Colon has been baffling hitters going on 18 years, doing it in several different uniforms over his career, and on Tuesday night, he made history by beating the Orioles 3-2 at Citi Field in front of an announced crowd of 20,534.

As the Orioles open their two-game interleague series tonight, Jimmy Paredes, who has been the designated hitter in 11 of his 12 starts this season, will start at second base.
