Rumfield and Amador homer as Rockies stop 10-game home skid with 4-2 win over Orioles

TJ Rumfield and Adael Amador hit home runs, as the Colorado Rockies defeated the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 on Tuesday night, ending a 10-game home losing streak. Rumfield broke a tie in the seventh inning with a two-run homer, and Amador followed with a solo shot in the second inning. Jackson Holliday's tying homer in the seventh was followed by TJ Rumfield's towering shot to the bullpen, securing a 4-2 lead.

Jordan Romano secured the win with a save in the ninth inning. Adael Amador, called up from Triple-A Albuquerque, opened the scoring with a two-out solo homer in the second. Mickey Moniak reached base on an error by Holliday before Rumfield hit the decisive home run.

The Orioles, currently at 69-70, dropped 1 1/2 games behind the Cleveland for the final American League wild card.
