Difficult Day in San Francisco
Fellow Orioles fans, today was a tough one to swallow. The Orioles tried their best against the San Francisco Giants, but ultimately fell short with a final score of 15-8. The Giants' bats were relentless, and their ability to capitalize on our errors really hurt us. Despite some great individual performances, it wasn't enough to overcome the deficit.A Promising Start
We got off to a promising start in the top of the first inning. Jackson Holliday displayed his keen eye and drew a walk, followed by a successful steal to second. Then, Ryan Mountcastle came through with a double to right, bringing our boy Holliday home to give us an early 1-0 lead!
Unfortunately, we struggled to add on, leaving those hopes hanging.Giants' Offensive Surge
The Giants answered back quickly and effectively in their half of the inning, scoring four runs and taking the lead. Willy Adames and Rafael Devers put on a clinic of patience and power, and their efforts set the tone for the rest of the game. Despite our best efforts to stem the tide, the Giants kept piling on the runs through timely hitting and taking advantage of fielding errors.Fighting Spirit in the Middle Innings
Even in the face of adversity, our Orioles showed spirit. The third inning was a ray of hope, as Emmanuel Rivera singled to bring in two runs, while Mountcastle continued his impressive day with another pair of RBIs in the fifth. But every time we closed the gap, the Giants responded by extending their lead further.Closing In and Tough Breaks
In the eighth, Coby Mayo gave us a spark with a towering 420-foot solo homer to left center!
It was an awesome shot that showed the kind of power Mayo has. Despite our players' persistence, the Giants managed to seal the deal with steady offense until the end.Tough Loss, Looking Ahead
It's never easy to see our team come up short, but the fight and glimpses of brilliance give us hope for what’s to come.
