Deadspin | Gunnar Henderson swats MLB-best 6th homer as O’s handle Giants 
Apr 11, 2026; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Baltimore Orioles pitcher Chris Bassitt (40) throws during the first inning against the San Francisco Giants at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Mandatory Credit: Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images Gunnar Henderson homered again and Jeremiah Jackson also homered as the Baltimore Orioles beat the visiting San Francisco Giants 6-2 on Saturday night to even their series.
Henderson has six home runs, including four in the last five games, to share the MLB lead with St. Louis outfielder Jordan Walker.
Colton Cowser had two hits and Coby Mayo drove in two runs for the Orioles.
Heliot Ramos, who knocked in two runs, and Jung Hoo Lee each had two hits for the Giants, whose three-game winning streak came to an end. They allowed just three runs during their streak.
Baltimore starter Chris Bassitt was within one out of recording his first victory with the Orioles. He worked 4 2/3 innings and gave up two runs (one earned) on seven hits and one walk.
Grant Wolfram (1-0) was the winning pitcher with one inning of scoreless relief. He was the first of five guys to come out of the Baltimore bullpen.
Giants ace Logan Webb (1-2) worked six innings and was charged with four runs on five hits and three walks with six strikeouts.
San Francisco reliever Caleb Kilian gave up Jackson’s homer in the seventh on the first batter he faced.
The Giants opened the scoring with Ramos’ second-inning single. The Orioles tied it in the bottom of the inning on Cowser’s groundout.
Henderson’s solo blast came with one out in the third.
San Francisco pulled even in the fourth on a Ramos groundout. The Orioles regained the lead in the bottom of the frame. Mayo’s fielder’s choice grounder brought in Leody Taveras, then Jackson doubled to right to make it 4-2.
Jackson’s homer padded the lead and Mayo added an eighth-inning RBI single.
The Giants won 6-3 in Friday night’s series opener.

![Suryansh Shedge: Should have stayed longer because I was set Spending time in the middle was the mantra for Suryansh Shedge, whose 57 off 29 balls had temporarily seemed to have dragged Punjab Kings out of the woods on Sunday.The visitor eventually lost by four wickets against the Gujarat Titans, but Shedge, having waited for long to pounce on an opportunity, got much-needed gametime.“I wouldn’t say I was waiting. I was preparing. So, I look at it from that perspective that whenever I’m thrown into a situation, I should be ready for that. I’ve been speaking to Ricky [Ponting] sir a lot. I’ve been speaking to our captain a lot because I know him. The only thing they tell me is whenever the opportunity knocks, you have to be ready and take it with both hands. So that’s what I tried to do,” Shedge said.“It’s just sometimes some batters get good balls and they get out. But my only intention was to spend as much time as I could. And that, I think, made things easier as I progressed through the innings.”Despite being his side’s best batter and getting it to a competitive 163 on a two-paced wicket, Shedge took responsibility for the loss.“That 7.5-metre length was difficult to play. I think it was a bit two-paced because of the grass and the black soil. And I think at the end of the day, if we would have saved some runs here and there, we would have ended up winning the game. But I put my hand up. I think I should have stayed there because I was set. And if I would have let that ball go [from Kagiso Rabada], things would have been different,” Shedge said.Published on May 04, 2026 #Suryansh #Shedge #stayed #longer #set](https://i0.wp.com/ss-i.thgim.com/public/incoming/s7dydp/article70937916.ece/alternates/LANDSCAPE_1200/VIS_2885.JPG?ssl=1 "Suryansh Shedge: Should have stayed longer because I was set Spending time in the middle was the mantra for Suryansh Shedge, whose 57 off 29 balls had temporarily seemed to have dragged Punjab Kings out of the woods on Sunday.The visitor eventually lost by four wickets against the Gujarat Titans, but Shedge, having waited for long to pounce on an opportunity, got much-needed gametime.“I wouldn’t say I was waiting.
