BALTIMORE (AP) --- Landen Roupp pitched six sharp innings, Willy Adames and
Jung Hoo Lee homered and the San Francisco Giants beat the Baltimore Orioles
6-3 Friday night for their season-high third straight victory.
Adames hit a solo shot in the third inning and Lee hit a two-run drive to make
it 6-1 in the seventh. The last-place Giants, who came in with a major
league-low five homers, just missed a potential third long ball when Taylor
Ward made a leaping grab at the left-field wall to rob Harrison Bader in the
eighth.
It's been a roller-coaster season thus far for San Francisco, which has endured
skids of three and four games under rookie manager Tony Vitello. During their
current winning streak, however, the Giants have outscored the opposition 17-3.
Roupp (2-1) gave up one run and five hits to earn his first win since July 22.
The right-hander finished the 2025 season on the injured list with a bruised
left knee.
After Adames doubled in a run to make it 3-0 in the fourth, Leody Taveras hit
an RBI double in the bottom half for Baltimore. Taveras was in the starting
lineup after Tyler O'Neill was scratched with an illness.
Orioles starter Shane Baz (0-1) gave up three runs and seven hits in five
innings. He's winless in three games since signing a five-year contract
extension on March 27.
Gunnar Henderson hit a two-run homer for the Orioles, whose three-game winning
streak ended.
Baltimore cleanup hitter Pete Alonso stranded three runners and went hitless
with two strikeouts to drop his batting average to .176.
Up next
Giants right-hander Logan Webb (1-1, 5.00 ERA) faces Baltimore lefty Cade
Povich (0-0, 3.18) on Saturday afternoon.
