Latest news and updates about the Rockies
The Rockies announced that they have claimed left-hander Hayden Harris off waivers from the Braves. Atlanta designated him for assignment earlier this week. Colorado had an open 40-man roster spot and is assigning Harris to Triple-A Albuquerque, so no corresponding moves are needed. Harris, 27, is a side-arming lefty with a very limited big league […]
The St. Louis Cardinals could get right back in the playoff chase this weekend with a sweep of the Colorado Rockies after they took a series win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. If not, their season is likely over.
One of the strengths of the Colorado Rockies this season has been their ability to come back and win games late. They’ve been able to come up clutch and overcome deficits, making baseball more fun this season.

Since the Colorado Rockies are enjoying a much-needed day off before welcoming the St. Louis Cardinals to Coors Field on Friday, I figured it could be a good opportunity to pay some attention to the farm system with a game discussion thread, as all four Rockies affiliates are at home this week.

DENVER—The Orioles’ trip to Coors Field ended in the most painful way possible when, after taking a two-run lead in the top of the 11th, reliever Grant Wolfram allowed three runs in the bottom of the inning for a 6-5 loss before 15,616 on Wednesday. Brett Sullivan’s two-run single was the game-winner. After Colton Cowser […]
A team that wants to stay in the postseason race can’t lose a game like this one. The Orioles faced a Rockies starting pitcher, in Coors Field, with an ERA over 5. They had their own starting pitcher, Trevor Rogers, set a career high with 11 strikeouts over an excellent start that took him into […]
The Baltimore Orioles are competing for an American League Wild Card position. They surely entered Colorado against a lackluster Rockies team hoping to at least win two out of three games, and possibly even earn a sweep.

For the first time since June 22, the Colorado Rockies delivered a walk-off win as they defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 in extra innings. After quality pitching from both starters, the Rockies ended up rallying multiple times down to their last strike to secure the victory and win the series. Top-notch Tomo After struggling through […]
One reason why the Orioles are where they are right now is they just can’t keep up a consistent high level of play. This is playing out in miniature over the first two games against the Rockies. Monday’s game brought the highest of highs with Colton Cowser’s amazing game-ending home run robbery to give the […]
After a much-needed victory on Tuesday night to snap a 10-game losing streak at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies will aim for a series victory today. Unfortunately, they face a pair of obstacles that will make that task difficult: a left-hander on the mound for the Orioles and a bad record in rubber matches. Tomoyuki […]
The first day of September almost provided a career first for Gabriel Hughes of the Colorado Rockies. Despite allowing just one run, Hughes departed with a lead but failed to claim his first Major League victory in Colorado’s 4-2 win against the Orioles September 1 at Coors Field. Although the rookie’s big achievement did not […]
With the Colorado Rockies barreling toward another last-place finisher, these players could be shown the door before the regular season is finished.
When Hall of Famer Todd Helton retired after 17 seasons with the Colorado Rockies, the carousel of replacements at first base has made for a grueling search to fill his position.

DENVER—In the bottom of the seventh inning, Orioles manager Craig Albernaz decided to introduce Luis De León to major league baseball.

If there was any team that needed a win — really, really needed a win — it was the Colorado Rockies. Their odds of avoiding another 100-loss season were sagging by the day, and they were drowning after their 10th consecutive loss at Coors Field.

The Baltimore Orioles have been hanging tough in the AL Wild Card race, and every win matters right now as far as their postseason hopes are concerned.

I’m old enough to remember when the Orioles had a .500 record. Those were good times. The O’s couldn’t keep up the momentum of their series opener, dropping the second game to the Rockies, 4-2. Newly promoted Luis De León, making his major league debut, coughed up a tie-breaking two-run homer in the seventh after […]
By gum, they’ve done it. The Orioles are a .500 team again. Now why don’t we see how much farther this ride can take us? The O’s got back to the even-water mark last night in the most thrilling way possible, on Colton Cowser’s unbelievable, gravity-defying, home run robbery that turned a certain walkoff loss […]
