Ryan McMahon just made an incredible play at 3B for the #Yankees in his debut. #Rockies fans are used to seeing plays like that from him, and I’m glad NYY fans got to see it so early on.
Warren Schaeffer and #Rockies starter Kyle Freeland said postgame they felt the #Orioles had something on his heater the first two innings so Free made the adjustment of strictly pitching out of the stretch since they couldn’t narrow on exactly what he was doing to tip pitches.
FINAL: #Rockies 6, #Orioles 5. Rox have won three straight. Kyle Freeland battled after four early solo shots to go 6 IP, 4 R. Homers from Mickey Moniak (16), Thairo Estrada (3) & Ezequiel Tovar (6). Multi-hit games for Hunter Goodman & Jordan Beck. Seth Halvorsen gets 10th save.
Ezequiel Tovar just hit his 3rd HR in his last five games. This one gives the lead back to the #Rockies, 6-5 over the #Orioles in the 8th. Since Tovar’s return off the IL, he’s batting .316 with a .684 slug.
Final line might not show a quality start for Kyle Freeland, but it was an impressive one for the #Rockies. He settled in after four solo shots in the first two innings to go 6 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 4 K. He threw 53 pitches in the first two innings & only 40 pitches in innings 3-6.
The Orioles do not have control over whether the game goes into a delay, that's on MLB and the umpires. With lighting literally right above the stadium, the Orioles decided to move fans for their safety
I’ve never seen this at a baseball game before. We are still playing, rain is coming down, but they have asked fans to clear all exposed seats because of lightning and thunder. It’s pretty weird…
Jordan Beck gives the #Rockies a 5-4 lead over the #Orioles with a 2-out RBI single to score Goodman. Beck is hitting .407 in his last 7 games and has raised his season OPS up to .788.
Hunter Goodman just hit his 19th double of the season to score Mickey Moniak from first. The #Rockies fight their way back from trailing 4-0 early to tie the #Orioles up at 4-4 in the 5th.
Thairo Estrada was activated off the IL today and responds with a 2-run HR in his second AB. The ball is flying today in this heat… six combined HR between the two teams and we are in the top of the 4th. The #Rockies cut the #Orioles lead to 4-3.
Mickey Moniak just extended his on-base streak to 17 games with a two-out solo shot in the 3rd inning at Camden Yards. He now has 16 HR on the year. He’s hitting .276 with a .878 OPS for the #Rockies.
Thanks for everything, @Ry_McMahon 💜 Good luck in New York.
The New York Yankees are acquiring third baseman Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Colorado Rockies, sources confirm to ESPN.
Trade deadline has begun!!!!
BREAKING: The Seattle Mariners are acquiring first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, sources tell ESPN.
The #Rockies just shut out the #Cardinals 6-0 to win back-to-back series on this home stand. That was their first shutout in 220 games. Colorado goes 4-6 on this home stand vs. the Twins and Cards.
Best start of Tanner Gordon's young career today... 6 shutout innings vs. #Cardinals. He took Germán Márquez's roster spot (IL - right bicep tendinitis) & gives Kyle Freeland some extra rest (Freeland to start Friday in Baltimore). Gordon's gone 6+ IP in 3 of 4 starts this year.
