The Orioles allowed Colorado to score first in all three games this weekend. Baltimore battled back to take the first two, but the O’s finally paid the price on Sunday. Pinch hitter Ryan O’Hearn hit a two-run homer to tie the game in the eighth, but a throwing error and a Baltimore chop sunk the Birds 4-3.
The Orioles surrendered a run in the ninth, but they couldn’t pin this one on the loss of All-Star closer Félix Bautista. Yennier Cano entered and generated a hard-hit grounder up the middle. Gunnar Henderson gathered the ball, spun, and threw wide of first base.
