Гиганты нацелены на четвёртую подряд победу против борющихся Ориолов

The San Francisco Giants are gaining traction after a shaky start to their season, currently riding a three-game winning streak where they've accumulated an impressive 17 runs. Following their dismal 3-8 start, the Giants have reignited their offense and will aim for a fourth consecutive victory against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday. The game features Logan Webb on the mound for San Francisco, carrying a 1-1 record with a 5.00 ERA, as he looks to build upon the team's momentum. In the series opener on Friday, San Francisco defeated Baltimore 6-3, showcasing a 12-hit game powered by homeruns from Willy Adames and Jung Hoo Lee. Designated hitter Casey Schmitt was a standout performer, going 3-for-5, including three doubles, scoring twice, and driving in a run—echoing a performance that hadn't been achieved by a Giant since Donovan Solano in 2020. "The streak is big for us," Schmitt commented on their current form. "We're focused on enjoying the game and playing smart. The results are starting to reflect our true potential." In addition to the offensive output, San Francisco benefitted from a solid start by pitcher Landen Roupp, who allowed just one run over six innings and struck out four. The turning point of the game occurred during a crucial moment when Roupp contained Baltimore's threat in the third inning, halting a scoring opportunity by striking out Pete Alonso. Despite Baltimore's acquisition of five-time All-Star Pete Alonso, who is batting a lowly .176, the team's offense remains below expectations. Alonso acknowledged the pressure and frustrations he faces as he continues his search for form, "It's been a challenging start," Alonso admitted. "The expectations are high, not just from others but from myself. There's a responsibility to step up, and I believe I'll turn this around." Having a mixed history against the Orioles, Logan Webb intends to steer San Francisco to another victory, while for Baltimore, Chris Bassitt takes to the mound, holding a 0-2 record with an ERA of 14.21. Bassitt has a promising track record against the Giants, aiming to help Baltimore regroup and end their losing streak after Friday's setback.
