Colton Cowser robs walk-off home run to seal Orioles win over Rockies

Baltimore center fielder Colton Cowser robbed a potential walk-off home run by Jake McCarthy in the bottom of the ninth inning to secure a 2-1 victory for the Orioles at Coors Field on August 31, 2026. The game, which lasted over four hours, was interrupted by a one-hour and 38-minute rain delay that shortened the start for Rockies pitcher Tanner Gordon. Gordon allowed one run over five innings before the Rockies bullpen struggled with control, issuing several walks that eventually led to a decisive seventh-inning run for Baltimore. A defensive review overturned an initial out call, allowing the Orioles to pull ahead by a single run. The loss marks the fifth consecutive defeat for Colorado and their tenth straight loss at home. The teams are scheduled to continue their series at Coors Field.
