09/01 23:04 CDT Rumfield and Amador homer as Rockies stop 10-game home skid with 4-2 win over Orioles Rumfield and Amador homer as Rockies stop 10-game home skid with 4-2 win over Orioles DENVER (AP) --- TJ Rumfield broke a seventh-inning tie with a two-run homer and the Colorado Rockies beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 on Tuesday night to snap their franchise-record home losing streak at 10 games. Adael Amador also went deep for the Rockies, who won at Coors Field for the first time since an 8-1 victory over Kansas City on Aug. 2 and snapped a five-game skid overall. Jackson Holliday launched a tying homer in the seventh off winning pitcher Jaden Hill (1-3) and finished with three hits, but Baltimore (69-70) dropped 1 1/2 games behind Cleveland for the final American League wild card. Mickey Moniak reached on Holliday's fielding error at second base before Rumfield hit a towering shot into the Colorado bullpen off Luis De Len (0-1) to give the Rockies a 4-2 lead. The 23-year-old De Len was making his major league debut. Jordan Romano struck out two in a 1-2-3 ninth for his 14th save. Amador, called up from Triple-A Albuquerque earlier in the day, opened the scoring with a two-out solo homer in the second. Zac Veen tripled off the top of the center-field wall and scored when Jake McCarthy followed with a single to make it 2-0. Brennan Bernardino replaced Rockies starter Gabriel Hughes with two outs and the bases loaded in the fifth and retired Gunnar Henderson --- the only batter he faced --- to preserve a one-run lead.

Up next Orioles LHP Trevor Rogers (9-9, 4.38 ERA) starts Wednesday afternoon opposite RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (12-8, 5.23) to conclude the three-game series. ___ See AP's full MLB coverage here
