It had to feel good for the Orioles to celebrate their first walk-off win of the 2026 season on Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards. It had to feel even better for Colton Cowser, given how difficult this year has been for the 26-year-old outfielder. Just rewatch the conclusion of Baltimore’s 5-3 victory over Detroit (the first game of a split doubleheader) and look at the reactions and the emotion shown across the field. There was a nice bat flip and emphatic fist pump from Cowser, who blasted a game-ending three-run homer off Kenley Jansen. There was Gunnar Henderson, the first player to emerge from the first-base dugout who was on the field before Cowser’s homer even cleared the wall. There was a jolly Pete Alonso, who helped orchestrate the Gatorade bath at home plate. * Mayo (low back discomfort) day to day after getting scratched from O's lineup
