The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Colorado Rockies 2-1 on August 31 at Coors Field in a game interrupted by a one-hour and forty-five-minute rain delay. Starter Cade Povich allowed one run on five hits over five innings before the weather halted play. Samuel Basallo provided the offensive spark with a run-scoring double in the fourth inning to tie the game. The contest concluded with a defensive highlight in the ninth, as centerfielder Colton Cowser caught a potential home run hit by Jake McCarthy to preserve the lead. This victory brings the Orioles back to a.500 record for the first time since April 30. The team remains in the wild card race, trailing Cleveland by a half-game.
