Orioles' Colton Cowser: Delivers game-winning blast Monday
Cowser went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored Monday in the Orioles' 9-7 win over the Rays in 13 innings.
Through his first 41 games of the season, Cowser had left the yard just once, but he's now delivered two walk-off home runs in the Orioles' last three games. After slugging a three-run blast in the bottom of the ninth during the Orioles' 5-3 win in the first game of a doubleheader with the Tigers on Sunday, Cowser delivered the theatrics again Monday, breaking a 7-7 tie with a 425-foot blast to right center off Jesse Scholtens in the bottom of the 13th. The 26-year-old is still holding down a mediocre .200/.287/.316 slash line on the season, but he appears to have moved back into a strong-side platoon role in the Baltimore outfield following Dylan Beavers' (oblique) recent move to the injured list.

Orioles' Colton Cowser: Seeing more time versus righties
Cowser is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Tigers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Though he'll be on the bench while the Tigers send lefty Framber Valdez to the hill for the matinee, Cowser has seemingly regained a foothold in the lineup. He's started the last three matchups with right-handed starters or primary pitchers, going 3-for-9 with a home run and a stolen bases in those contests. Until Dylan Beavers (oblique) returns from the injured list, Cowser and Tyler O'Neill could end up forming a loose platoon in right field.

Orioles' Colton Cowser: Delivers walk-off homer
Cowser went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in a 5-3 win over the Tigers in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.
Cowser was on the bench versus southpaw Framber Valdez to begin the game. He entered in the eighth inning to replace Blaze Alexander, but it was an inning later when Cowser made his mark with a walk-off blast against Kenley Jansen. Cowser has hit safely in his last four games, going 4-for-8 with a stolen base and three strikeouts in that span. He's getting in the lineup more often against right-handed pitchers, which could lead to Tyler O'Neill seeing less playing time. Cowser is batting .200 with a .573 OPS, two homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored, a steal and two doubles over 103 plate appearances this season.

Cowser is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
On the bench for the eighth time in nine games, Cowser appears to have faded into a part-time role with the recent return of Tyler O'Neill having created a logjam in the outfield. Cowser's reduction in playing time comes while he's struck out in 31.4 percent of his plate appearances en route to a .183/.275/.217 slash line for the season.
