Danny Coulombe came into the game and threw a third strike to Toglia to preserve a 5-4 win and get the save.

Bautista, who had 33 saves, was on the verge of his 34th and had gotten the first two Colorado hitters out in the ninth. His 2022 season was shortened by arm fatigue and knee soreness.

The Orioles took a 5-4 lead over the Rockies on Gunnar Henderson’s two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth.
