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.
