Summary
Colton Cowser ended Baltimore’s 2-1 win by leaping at the wall to steal Jake McCarthy’s 425-foot, two-run shot with two outs in the ninth.
A 1-hour-45-minute rain delay split a low-hit game in Denver, where the Orioles were outhit 8-4 but scratched ahead when a seventh-inning double play was overturned and Coby Mayo scored.
Samuel Basallo supplied Baltimore’s only early offense with an RBI double, while Cade Povich kept the game close over 5 innings, allowing 1 run on 5 hits.
The win lifted the Orioles to 69-69—their first .500 mark since April 30—and moved them within a half-game of Cleveland in the AL wild-card race.
