One day after the Orioles were on the wrong end of history with blowing an 8-0 lead, they bounced back. Colton Cowser delivered the big hit of the night, cracking a home run for the third game in a row when the team needed one. Cowser’s three-run homer put the O’s up, 4-1, and they held on through some wild bullpen shenanigans to salvage a series split over the Rays by that same final score.
Not to be lost around all of the other drama in the game, starting pitcher Charlie Morton was good again. The Orioles really needed a good outing as well as a lengthy one from their veteran who is one day younger than me, and they got one.
