Overview

• San Francisco opened the series with a 15-8 rout that featured a season-high 18 hits, with every Giants starter recording a hit.
• Luis Matos notched four hits in the win, and Willy Adames, who also had four, said the club feels like “the energy is back.”
• The Giants’ surge includes six straight wins across recent series, averaging 7.8 runs with a .307 team average and 12 home runs during that span.
• Saturday’s probables are Trevor Rogers for Baltimore (7-2, 1.40 ERA) against rookie Carson Seymour, who is set for his first MLB start after 10 relief outings.
• Baltimore has dropped eight of nine, with its lone victory coming in a Rogers start, and the Orioles’ depth is stretched with Adley Rutschman and Félix Bautista among several players on the injured list.
