The Colorado Rockies kicked off September with a dramatic 6-5 extra-innings triumph over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday, securing the series win at Coors Field. This victory propels the Rockies to a 2-0 start for the month, mirroring their August opening.
The game saw the Orioles take an early 3-0 lead in the third inning, but the Rockies incrementally chipped away at the deficit. Colorado's pitching staff, led by Tomoyuki Sugano, kept the team in contention after the initial setback.
Colorado's offense came alive late, tying the game in the bottom of the ninth inning with a two-out double and a subsequent RBI double. After Baltimore regained the lead with two runs in the eleventh, the Rockies mounted another comeback.
In the bottom of the eleventh, with one out and down by a run, Adael Amador singled, and Brett Sullivan followed with a decisive two-RBI walkoff single, sealing the improbable victory.
