On the Giants podcast with Morris Sunday no doubt was a rough day for the Giants after the visiting Baltimore Orioles made a come back down seven runs 7-1 and scored twice in the seventh and eight innings and three times in the ninth inning to beat the Giants 8-7. Giants closer Santiago Casilla who surrendered three run and three hits in the crucial ninth inning save opportunity imploded as the Orioles made a huge come back to win it on Sunday.

That ninth inning for Casilla was tough, he made some good pitches, he threw some good curve balls, he struck out the Orioles Chris Davis and allowed Manny Machado reached base and then Jonathan Schoop hit a homer his 18th for the three run homer that iced for the Orioles win in the ninth.
