On the SF Giants podcast with Michael Duca:

#1 The Baltimore Orioles Anthony Santander hit a game winning walk off two run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning in the Orioles 5-3 win over the visiting San Francisco Giants.

#2 The Orioles had struggled in the series even losing the first of the three game set 10-0 to the Giants but this win Thursday helped them move closer to a shot at the wild card.

#3 The Giants in the top of the ninth inning tied the game 3-3 when Casey Schmitt hit a single off Orioles pitcher Seranthony Dominguez. So it was a game that the Giants nearly scratched out a sweep.

#4 Giants manager Bob Melvin said after the game, We come back in the ninth and have some good at-bats late in the game like we typically do,” said Melvin. “But just fell an at-bat short.”

#5 The Giants open a three game series in Kansas City on Friday night. The Giants will start RHP Mason Black whose looking for his first win (0-4, 7.07) starting for the Royals RHP Michael Wacha (13-7, 3.29) at Kaufman Stadium first pitch 5:10pm PT.
