Key Performances on the Field
The Orioles showcased their hitting prowess by accumulating 10 hits over nine innings, leading to five runs. A standout moment came in the fourth inning when they scored three runs, demonstrating their offensive capability. The team's performance was underpinned by solid pitching and defense, with no errors recorded during the game. This clean fielding contributed significantly to maintaining their lead.

Giants' Efforts and Strategy
The Giants managed eight hits leading to three runs but couldn't overcome the Orioles' lead despite scoring two runs in the fourth inning and one in the ninth inning. Their efforts were hindered by Baltimore's tight defense which left eight runners stranded on base for San Francisco.
Pitching played a crucial role for both teams; however, it was Baltimore's bullpen that ultimately edged out San Francisco's pitchers by maintaining lower earned run averages (ERAs) across both starters and relievers.
