They’ll try to make it four in a row on Saturday at Baltimore with ace right-hander Logan Webb (1-1, 5.00 ERA) on the mound.</p> </section><section id="section-3"> <p>San Francisco clubbed 12 hits in a 6-3 victory in Friday’s series opener, including home runs by Willy Adames and Jung Hoo Lee. DH Casey Schmitt, who had just two extra-base hits in 25 at-bats coming into the contest, went 3-for-5 with three doubles, two runs scored and an RBI — the first Giant since Donovan Solano on July 30, 2020 to belt three doubles in a game.</p> </section><section id="section-4"> <p>“I think it can do a lot for us,” Schmitt said of his team’s winning streak. “This group, we’ve been really good about not putting too much pressure on ourselves and just going out and playing and getting things to fall in line. … We’re just playing baseball and having fun.”</p> </section><section id="section-5"> <p>The Giants got another strong start from Landen Roupp, who allowed one run on five hits over six innings while striking out four.</p> </section><section id="section-6"> <p>A key point in the game came in the bottom of the third inning.

He is just 2-for-28 (.071) with no homers, one RBI and 10 strikeouts over his last seven games.</p> </section><section id="section-9"> <p>“Yeah, it stinks, first couple of weeks, not performing up to my standards,” Alonso said. “You can work hard, you can try, but that’s not why I’m here. I’m here to win. And I expect more out of myself, and I know other people do as well. So it’s frustrating.</p> </section><section id="section-10"> <p>“I feel bad.

I just haven’t, but I will.”</p> </section><section id="section-11"> <p>Webb is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in two career starts against Baltimore. This will be his second start at Camden Yards.
