Another walk-off win: Game ends on an error as O's top Colorado

For the second day in a row, the Orioles produced a walk-off win. This one came with less drama, but it still counts.

Tied 2-2 with Colorado in the 10th, they faced right-hander Jordan Lyles. With one out, Adam Jones singled. He went to third on Jonathan Schoop's single to right. Jones scored on an error to produce a 3-2 win. Manny Machado hit a grounder to the mound and it glanced off Lyles' glove. He threw home, it appeared in time to get an out, but Nick Hundley could not hang onto the throw and Jones scored the game winner.

It is the Orioles' fifth walk-off win of the year and second in two days.

The O's improved to 58-40, going a season-high 18 games over .500. They have won five in a row by a combined 22-9 score and are 37-14 at home. The Orioles are 11-1 in their last 12 home games.

The Orioles took a 1-0 lead on an unearned run in the second inning. J.J. Hardy drew a leadoff walk and went to third with Dariel Alvarez moving to second on a two-base throwing error by Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado. Jones then singled to right to score Hardy. But Schoop bounced into a double play to end that rally.

With that RBI, Jones moved past Rafael Palmeiro into sole possesion of seventh on the Orioles' all-time RBI list with 702.

The Orioles left the bases loaded with one out in the first inning. Through two frames tonight, they were 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position after going 10-for-61 in 10 games since the All-Star break.

After Yovani Gallardo needed just 35 pitches to blank Colorado through three, Arenado led off the fourth with a long homer to left to tie it 1-1. He hit No. 26 on an 87 mph slider and it went an estimated 418 feet, according to Statcast.

That tie was broken in the top of the seventh. After Gallardo picked Carlos Gonzalez off first, David Dahl's single to center was his first major league hit and put him on with two outs. A wild pitch advanced him to second. With two outs, former Oriole Mark Reynolds hit a groundball single to center on a 3-2 pitch for the 2-1 lead.

Right-hander Mychal Givens was warming up during the inning, but came on after Reynolds' go-ahead single. Gallardo went 6 2/3, allowing five hits and two runs with two walks and six strikeouts. He threw 108 pitches to tie his season high in a solid outing.

Over the last 13 games, O's starting pitchers have worked to an ERA of 2.88, allowing two earned runs or less nine times.

The Orioles got that run back in the last of the frame. With one out, lefty Jorge De La Rosa hit Nolan Reimold, which came about after a video replay. Alvarez looped a double into the left-field corner to put runners on second and third while right-hander Adam Ottovino replaced De La Rosa. Jones scored a run to tie it 2-2 on a grounder to short. De La Rosa went 6 1/3 and gave up two runs (one earned) after allowing nine runs in four innings his last start versus Tampa Bay.

In the second game of the series on Tuesday night, Chris Tillman (14-2, 3.18 ERA) faces right-hander Chad Bettis (8-6, 5.31 ERA).
