Baltimore OriolesvsColorado Rockies
BAL 5/COL 6
Things to say
The Rockies walked off the Orioles 6-5 in 11 innings at Coors Field.
01
opener
Man, that one went the distance. Rockies walked it off in the eleventh, 6-5. Extra innings at Coors is basically a coin flip and Colorado called it.
02
key player
Whoever came up with the winning knock is the story — you walk it off in the eleventh at altitude, you own that clubhouse for a week.
03
hot take
Orioles have no business dropping this. They're a winning club, Colorado's a 54-86 mess, and they still let it slip. That's a bad loss.
04
deep cut
Eleven innings means both pens got emptied out. Somebody's bullpen is gonna feel that tomorrow, and at Coors the ball just doesn't die.
05
exit
Anyway, long night. Curious if Baltimore bounces back or if that one lingers into the next series.
The recap
The Rockies walked it off in the 11th to steal one from the Orioles, 6-5, at Coors on a getaway day. Baltimore had this thing in hand more than once and just couldn't slam the door — you knew the thin air was going to bite somebody eventually.
Colorado clawed back and then cashed in when it counted, sending everybody home happy in extras. Rough loss for a Baltimore club that's fighting to stay above .500.
