Despite the heartbreaking finish, McCarthy has enjoyed a solid year in Colorado. He's batting .289/.330/.473 with a career-best 14 home runs and 70 RBI. The 29-year-old and his Rockies teammates will have a shot at redemption when the Orioles-Rockies series resumes tonight at 8:40 p.m. ET.

The Colorado Rockies have found their first baseman of the foreseeable future. After an offseason trade that sent right-handed relief pitcher Angel Chivilli to the New York Yankees for first baseman TJ Rumfield, the 26-year-old has impressed in his first season with the NL West club.

If the Orioles rotation proceeds with its already established order, then it will end up as Kyle Bradish, Trevor Rogers, and Brandon Young in this series. The Orioles are capable of being weirdos who list out a bunch of TBDs and then just line up the guys anyone would have guessed they'd line up. This could turn out to be nothing.

Two young prospects are expected to join Colorado for the final leg of the season.
