Baltimore Orioles at Colorado Rockies: Final Score & Recap

The Colorado Rockies walked off the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 in eleven innings on September 2, 2026, at Coors Field, completing a comeback that saw the DiamondIQ model's estimate of a Colorado win begin the game at just 43 percent before finishing at 100. The game remained scoreless through the first two frames before Baltimore struck for three runs in the third, only for the two clubs to trade blows across the middle innings before the contest extended into extras. A critical moment came in the bottom of the eighth, when Connor Norby's groundout off Yennier Cano swung win probability 18.7 percent against Colorado, a sequence Cano ultimately absorbed without further damage and that helped position the Orioles to protect their lead heading into the ninth.

The final two innings produced the game's most dramatic sequence of plays. Zac Veen delivered a double off Andrew Kittredge in the bottom of the ninth that shifted win probability 38.8 percent toward Colorado, tying or threatening the Baltimore lead and setting the stage for extras. The Orioles answered in the top of the eleventh when Samuel Basallo singled off Blas Castaño, a hit that added 36.5 percent in Baltimore's favor and briefly appeared to give the visitors the upper hand. Colorado's Brett Sullivan ended it moments later in the bottom half, lining a single off Grant Wolfram that swung win probability 78.8 percent and scored the decisive run, with TJ Rumfield adding another single in the same frame that contributed a further 23.3 percent swing to confirm the outcome.

Sullivan finished as the game's most impactful offensive performer with a WPA of plus-78.8 percent and a RE24 of plus-1.6, while Basallo led Baltimore at plus-36.6 percent WPA and plus-1.3 RE24 despite being on the losing side. Veen's plus-28.1 percent WPA reflected his pivotal ninth-inning contribution. On the mound, Yennier Cano was the top-performing pitcher by WPA at plus-18.7 percent, followed by Jimmy Herget at plus-13.3 percent and Rico Garcia at plus-11.0 percent, a trio whose combined effectiveness kept Baltimore within reach long enough for the extras to develop.
