Jordan Beck's tiebreaking double in the eighth inning lifted the Colorado Rockies to a 7-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in Denver on Saturday night.

The game was tied when Nolan Jones hustled for a one-out double against Craig Kimbrel (7-5). Beck lined the next pitch to center to drive in Jones and took second on the throw home. Beck stole third and scored his third run of the night on Drew Romo's groundout.

Tyler Kinley got the final three outs for his eighth save and Jeff Criswell (1-0) picked up his first major league victory.

Baltimore starter Dean Kremer left in the fourth inning after taking Beck's comebacker off his right arm. Kremer's arm just above his wrist swelled, but the team announced X-rays were negative for a fracture or break.

Keegan Akin relieved Kremer, who allowed four runs on six hits in 3 1/3 innings.

Anthony Santander homered and doubled and Eloy Jimenez also went deep for the Orioles, who lost third baseman Ramon Urias to an ankle injury in the seventh inning.

The Rockies grabbed the lead in the second inning. Brenton Doyle led off with a double and scored on Brendan Rodgers' single. Two outs later, Romo laced a two-run double to center to make it 3-0.

Santander cut the lead to 3-2 with a two-run homer into the Colorado bullpen in the fourth inning, his 39th, but the Rockies answered after Kremer was knocked out of the game.

Akin inherited Beck at first and walked Romo, then gave up a two-run triple to Charlie Blackmon to put Colorado ahead 5-2.

Baltimore responded in the fifth inning. Jimenez led off with his sixth home run, Ryan Feltner hit Ramon Urias and Jackson Holliday singled. Feltner loaded the bases with a walk and Ryan O'Hearn knocked in a pair with a single to center to tie it.

Feltner allowed five runs on six hits and struck out six in 4 2/3 innings.
