Orioles Crush Giants 11-1 as Rogers Extends Record Run, Basallo Hits First MLB Homer

Rogers' sustained efficiency underscored tangible progress for a Baltimore club showcasing rookie milestones.

Overview

  • Trevor Rogers spun seven innings of five-hit, one-run ball without a walk, logging a 10th straight start of at least six innings with two or fewer runs, the longest such streak by an Orioles pitcher in the Baltimore era.
  • Samuel Basallo hit his first major-league home run and, at 21 years and 17 days, became the youngest catcher in Orioles franchise history to homer.
  • Jeremiah Jackson homered and drove in four, with Ryan Mountcastle also going deep as Baltimore surged to an early lead and finished with 13 hits.
  • The victory ended the Orioles’ five-game losing streak and snapped the Giants’ six-game run that included a 15-8 series-opening win.
  • Giants rookie Carson Seymour surrendered four runs over three innings in his first MLB start, and infielder Christian Koss pitched a scoreless ninth in relief.
