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.

They don't give style points in baseball, but if you were scoring Orioles-Rockies, you'd want to break out a second, third, maybe even a fourth color of pen to decorate the box with Colton Cowser's ninth-inning catch to save the game for Baltimore.
