Colton Cowser Saves the Orioles with an Incredible Catch to Preserve a 2-1 Victory over the Rockies
Cowser also drove in the go-ahead run as Baltimore moved within half a game of a wild-card spot, officials said.
- On Monday night in Denver, Baltimore Orioles center fielder Colton Cowser robbed Jake McCarthy of a game-winning home run with a leaping catch, preserving the Orioles' 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
- Following a 98-minute rain delay at Coors Field, Cowser drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning while the Rockies extended their franchise-record 10-game home losing streak.
- Timing the ball perfectly, Cowser crashed into the padded wall to pull back the ball from well above the 415-foot sign, executing a no-look catch to secure the final out.
- The victory moved the Orioles within a half-game of the Cleveland Guardians in the American League Wild Card race, as Baltimore reached.500 for the first time since April.
- If the Orioles qualify for the postseason by a single game, fans will likely replay this defensive gem repeatedly, underscoring the catch's weight in the team's playoff pursuit.
