The Baltimore Orioles recorded the largest shutout in franchise history on Saturday after defeating the Colorado Rockies 18-0.

Baltimore scored 18 runs on 18 hits, which consisted of three home runs from Tyler O'Neill, Alex Jackson, and Cedric Mullins, who hit the 100th homer of his career en route to the monstrous win. 

Mullins now joins Orioles legends Brady Anderson and Paul Blair as the only ones to reach 100 home runs and 100 stolen bases.

The O's went 11-19 with runners in scoring position, with nine players being credited with at least one RBI.

All 13 batters for the Orioles, which includes pinch-hitters, recorded at least one hit, while Mullins, O'Neill, Jackson Holliday, Ryan O'Hearn, and Gunnar Henderson had at least two.

Starting pitcher Trevor Rogers got the shutout win after going seven innings of giving up just one hit while walking one and striking out five. Since May 4th (min. seven starts), Rogers has the fourth-best earned run average (1.49) in all of baseball among starters, sitting behind Matthew Boyd (1.14), Paul Skenes (1.39), and Tarik Skubal (1.46). 

It wasn't just a day for the bats and the O's pitching, but also in the field, particularly this incredible catch from Mullins an inning before hitting his home run. 

The win marked just the fourth shutout win of the season for an Orioles team looking to score any moral wins that they can as they sit at the bottom of the American League East division with a 46-58 record.

Meanwhile, the Rockies continue to be historically bad as they fall to 27-77 on the year following the loss. However, they still have a chance to make it three straight series wins out of the All-Star break if they're able to beat Baltimore in the third game of the series on Sunday afternoon.
