Summary
What a brutally frustrating Orioles loss. The Orioles fell 4-2 to the Colorado Rockies after rookie left-hander Luis De León was called up when rosters expanded on September 1 ... and was immediately put into one of the toughest possible situations in his MLB debut. Craig Albernaz said before the game, “We’re not going to ambush him and throw him in the fire right away.” Then, with the game tied 2-2, De Leon entered. A Jackson Holliday error on a Mickey Moniak pop-up extended the inning, and one out later T.J. Rumfield crushed a hanging slider for the go-ahead homer. De León deserved better. He threw just 15 pitches, struck out Hunter Goodman, and had to make his major-league debut in a tie game while the Orioles’ defense failed behind him. Luke Slabaugh reacts to another night of self-inflicted Orioles mistakes, including: The questionable hit-and-run that got Christian Encarnacion-Strand erased at second base Baltimore going 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position Jackson Holliday’s game-tying seventh-inning home run Kyle Bradish battling through five innings of two-run baseball at Coors Field Why the Orioles keep making tough games even harder on themselves The managerial decisions that left O’s fans furious after this loss This one was there for the taking—and Baltimore let it get away.
