Orioles vs. Rockies Game Highlights (8/31/24) | MLB Highlights

We are getting down the stretch here. Kids Orioles just 24 games remaining there a game back of the Yankees after New York's loss today and can get to within a half game if the could take down these 5086 Colorado Rockies. Ryan felt is on the mound tonight for the Rockies. You know, the records not pretty one in 10, you know, it is amazing spil over his last night. He has a 39 run. There's the Orioles old and new leadoff man, Gunner Henderson and the look to strike fast once again and the first pitch is hit shallow left center field and coming on Jones to make the catch is a swing and a miss change of pace by Ian Feltner. He gets strikeout number one tonight. He'll yank it to right coming on and making the catch. Jordan beck lost his hat but hung on to the ball. Nice play by Jordan no score as the Rockies come to bat here in the first, but de Kramer's trying to do. It's not easy to do at Coors keep the ball in the yard over his last six starts. Kramer's only allowed one home run vaults a fly ball high into right field ball will travel out toward the warning track but come up short on a 11, Tovar gets a cutter, pops it up o'er in front of holiday and the veteran will call off the youngster for a quick out number two and Mcmahon sprays one the other way to left Colton Cowser cleans up a nice tidy 10 pitch first inning for Dean Kramer. Colton Cowser. Now the left fielder is the starter tonight in left field is the hitter swung on and missed second strikeout for Ryan Feltner and the second one on a change up to a lefty and this is a broken bat roller that is handled by Rogers on the left side of the infield and it's another 123 inning for Ryan Feltner. He's off to a wonderful start. Doyle's a clean up man for the Rockies will lead off against Dean Kremer who threw just nine pitches just like Feltner did back in the first inning down the line for long run for and it to a double, a good start in the second number nine doing his thing. This is Brendan Doyle. He gets a hanging curveball and just rips it right down. The left field line is double number 24 on the season 11 to Rogers and through the Rockies to get the first run of the night. Rogers with a bouncer up the middle one. Colorado bouncing ball right back up the middle, perfectly placed here in Colorado. I don't know how you ever throw a runner out from second base as deep as the outfielders have to play. I'd like to know what the, what , what percentages of runners get thrown out from second base in this ballpark. It's got to be so small. Three, two Jones on that fastball and now they're two on with one out for Jordan Beck ground ball to third picks. It nicely gets one at second. Holiday wisely sticks it in his pocket. Jordan Beck with a 30 swing and the Orioles are happy about that because they get it out out of it. So here's Drew Romo 1st and 3rd and 2 outs. The 3 to 2 is in the air to shallow left center field. This is going to be a well, two run double by Drew. It's 3 to 0 and we're reminded of how deep visitors play the outfield when they don't come here very frequently. There's just no way, especially with how far and how deep Colton Ker is in left ryan Mcmahon. Now the hitter with one down, ryan fly out to left for the third out back in the first inning and he hits, it's a base hit over to cut it off is Ker, he will do that Mcmahon will hold at first base, a good piece of hitting going the other way, Ryan Mcmahon for a one out single man at first base, two outs for the Rockies, Brendan Rodgers, the hitter, 21 to Rogers and he legs it into center field. It's a base hit Mcmahon is going to hold at second base. The inning for the Rockies continues Mcmahon at second Rogers at first dangerous spot here for Dean trying not to let this 3 to 0 game get away from him with a ground ball to short here. Henderson takes it to second and Kramer's Strands appear so two down, roman still at first as the Orioles look to keep this fourth inning alive and Santander will keep it alive. Good place to hit indeed into the bullpens for Santander number 39 for the switch hitter with the most home runs by any Orioles switch hitter in a season and Anthony is now on the doorstep of 40. How about that? Huh? 437 off the bat. Just a bullet, a two strike bullet two home run number 39 RB I number 88 on the season for Tony Taters. That balls back off of Kramer up in the air to Henderson gets the out at second and Brandon Hyde and Brian Ebel are immediately out to check on Dean Kramer. Oh, it might have got him on the right arm. That is some serious, serious swelling uh over the right wrist to Dean Kramer. Oh gosh, sometimes you just, you don't have time to get out of the way. You don't have time to get your glove and that 103 off the bat, you just don't have time. Steve Kramer will have to walk off the field here with a really , really gnarly welt and there is Keegan a and boys. He had an outstanding year, 54 making his 55th appearance a solid, er, a 80 punch outs and just 66 and two thirds only walk 16 all four. Drew Romo draws a walk 1st and 2nd, just one out and now the top of the order and Charlie Blackmon, this gets away from Rutman and back is the third trail runners in the second. And Drew Romo Aikens Spike to slider and the wild pitch puts two into scoring position and it gets away. Charlie gets the two open, not sure you can run that ball out to left center, drop it more between the left fielder and the center fielder just drop right between the 252 Rockies. Fifth inning. Ryan Feltner gets one of the two right handed batters Eloy Jim-nez to start the inning and Jimenez smokes one to center field that ball tracing to Eloy Jim-nez, his first or home run into the shrubbery here in Colorado. It was just a matter of time folks. Now he can really just trot around the bases, which is what he's best at is hit by a pitch holiday with a single and now Rutman trying to bring at least one more home in this 53 game and the runners go on 32 and it's yanked inside by Feltner for ball four as the Orioles load them up in the fifth and o'hearn drills the first pitch up the middle for a base hit Urias is in holiday will score behind him. And how about this magic trick? The Orioles make this Colorado lead disappear on a two run single from o'hearn Tata. It's 55 in this five all game in the seventh inning. Rookie Seth Halverson makes his second big league appearance and he got him with a changeup. You know, you go up there and you go, what's this guy got? Well, he throws 100 and Then he gets multiple changeups and the first career strikeout for Seth Halverson and it is being authenticated as we speak to you and hit to right field. Coming on is Jordan Beck a long run, but he's going to get there loses that and he makes the catch good work. Seth Halverson in the seventh inning. A 123 back to back walks issued by CNL and it's 1st and 2nd with just one out here comes brandon Hyde and now you near Cano will come on in a 55 game in the bottom of the seventh. A strike out there goes Tovar for third and was able to stay in front of that throw and the slide knocked him down. Oh no, but right there that right ankle rolls over the corner, watch it right over the corner of the back right there. What is going on tonight? Huh? We love Brian but he is getting way too much face time tonight. I'm getting tired of seeing Brian Evil out there and he's not moving well and he's gonna have to come out. I mean, he was trying to walk, but Then the House of Pain takes a whole new meeting for Ramona Rees tonight. But Emmanuel Rivera who was an offensive hero yesterday takes over and Rogers smokes the ball to third. The ball will find you and Rivera will find the third out. Great job by Cano to work through distress. And we go to the eighth time. There is craig Kimbrel making his 53rd appearance of the year 23 for 29 in save opportunities. Of course, this is not one of those 47 and two thirds folks. He can still strike out 66 of those opponents hitting 183 off the right hander Kimbrel and that will be a base hit left center field. Jones taking a look. Jones is going to try to stretch it into a double and he does, you can just tell the way he tore out of the box based on where he hit it. He was going to give it a shot. See what the Rockies can do. Jordan beck the hitter and he lines it into center field for a base hit Jones got a late break. Mullen's up with the ball throw is late. Goes to second RB I single. Jordan Beck and the Rockies regain the lead at 6 to 5. Beck takes off for third rush's got no shot and this is what teams have done against craig Kimbrel has a very difficult time holding runners back up to that will score is thrown out eventually by Henderson, but it's now 7 to 5 in the bottom of the eighth. Tyler Kinley looking for his eighth save TK will face the bottom third of the Baltimore lineup brand two. Mullins did not swing. They needed a base runner. The Orioles, they got a base runner. The Orioles and Emmanuel Rivera will immediately represent the tying run. That was a slider. It didn't have great bite to it but it did enough to get Rivera one out 2 to 2 pitch, got him with the slider back to back strikeouts, two outs in the ninth. That means Gunner Henderson is the Orioles last hope and he is the tying run nothing and two and Henderson gets hit an 02 slider that got away and drilled Henderson and that will bring the go ahead run to the plate and the second free pass of the inning maintains the game and gives Adley Rutman an opportunity to put these tough couple of weeks in the rearview mirror. Not going oh two. Yes, he did ninth inning drama. We've seen that before. No question. Richman went around and the Rockies have defeated the Orioles on this Saturday night by a final score of 7 to 5.
