Baltimore OriolesvsColorado Rockies
BAL 2/COL 1
Things to say
The Orioles beat the Rockies 2-1 at Coors Field.
01
opener
Man, a 2-1 game at Coors? That never happens. Baltimore squeaked one out on the road and honestly the pitching carried the whole night.
02
key player
Whoever the O's ran out there was filthy — kept the heart of that Rockies order off balance all night and gave the bullpen a clean handoff.
03
hot take
One run at Coors Field is borderline criminal. Colorado's bats have completely checked out, and that record shows it.
04
deep cut
Baltimore's sitting dead even at 69-69 — for a team that was buzzy a couple years back, stealing games like this is the only thing keeping them relevant.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if they can carry it into the next one — road series at altitude, every win counts.
The recap
Nobody expected a 2-1 grinder at Coors Field, of all places, but that's exactly what the Orioles and Rockies gave us. Baltimore scratched across just enough and let the arms do the rest, which almost never happens a mile up.
Colorado's lone run wasn't enough to answer, and the O's bullpen slammed the door to hang on. Getting a pitcher's duel in that yard is like finding a quiet corner at a rock concert, and Baltimore walked out with it.
