The Orioles earned their 38th comeback win of the season on Friday night, beating the Rockies 5-4 on a clutch Gunnar Henderson homer in the eighth inning. But it was all clouded by an arm injury to closer Félix Bautista that ended the victorious evening on a rather sour note.
The Birds got on the board early against Rockies starter Kyle Freeland. Ryan Mountcastle launched the fifth pitch of the first inning out to right-center field and onto the roof of the grounds crew’s shed for a solo home run. It was not exactly a leisurely stroll around the bases for the O’s slugger, though.
