BALTIMORE — Ezequiel Tovar hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the top of the eighth inning, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 on Friday night to improve to 5-2 since the All-Star break.
It’s a rare run of success for the Rockies, who improved to 27-76 on the season but still need 15 wins to avoid matching the modern record of 121 losses by last year’s Chicago White Sox. Colorado rallied from a 4-0 deficit after Jordan Westburg, Tyler O’Neill, Coby Mayo and Alex Jackson hit solo homers for Baltimore in the first two innings.
