Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser preserved a win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night by robbing a potential walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. With a runner on base, Rockies hitter Jake McCarthy struck a deep fly ball to center field that appeared headed over the fence. Cowser leaped at the wall and extended his glove behind his head to secure the ball, ending the scoring threat. The game had previously been delayed for two hours due to rain. Rockies manager Warren Schaffer described the defensive play as a difficult outcome for his team following the late-inning effort. The catch effectively sealed the victory for the Orioles.
