The Rockies are struggling mightily in the school of hard knocks.
But the Orioles, a great come-from-behind team all season, won their 40th game in that fashion. They scored three runs in the sixth to take a 4-2 lead. American League rookie-of-the-year candidate Gunnar Henderson led off with a sharp single to left and Anthony Santader followed up with another single to left.
Rockies manager Bud Black came out to the mound, chatted with Flexen and then decided to call on rookie right-handed reliever Tommy Doyle. Ryan Mountcastle drove Doyle’s 1-0 cutter into the left field for a two-run double, and then advanced to third on Ryan O’Hearn’s groundout to second. Austin Hays scored Mountcastle with a groundout to shortstop Ezequiel Tovar.
Baltimore extended the lead to 5-2 in the seventh against lefty Evan Justice, who made his major league debut. Justice walked Jordan Westburg on four pitches to begin his career but then fanned Adley Rutschman and Henderson. Justice’s fastball showed a lot of life, topping out at 96.4 mph, but Santader ripped a first-pitch, RBI double to left to score Westburg, extending the lead.
The Orioles needed the wiggle room because the Rockies scored twice in the eighth, combining a leadoff walk by Ryan McMahon, an RBI double by Elias Diaz, a single by Nolan Jones and a run-scoring double off the bat of Brendan Rodgers to trim the lead to 5-4.
