What we learned as Birdsong, Schmitt fuel wet Giants win vs. Orioles

Birdsong's strong start

Sean Birdsong, making his third start for the Giants, pitched five strong innings in a rain-soaked game against the Orioles.

He allowed just two runs on four hits and two walks, while striking out five batters.

It was Birdsong's best start of the season, and it helped the Giants secure a much-needed win.

Schmitt's clutch hit

With the Giants trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning, Jason Schmitt came up with a big hit.

He lined a single to right field, scoring Austin Slater from second base to tie the game.

Schmitt's hit gave the Giants a much-needed boost, and it helped them eventually win the game.

Giants rally in the rain

The Giants scored all of their runs in the fifth inning, which was played in a steady rain.

They took advantage of some wildness by Orioles starter Dean Kremer, who walked two batters and hit another.

The Giants also got some key hits, including Schmitt's game-tying single.

Giants improve to 3-3 on the road trip

The Giants improved to 3-3 on their current road trip with the win.

They have now won three of their last four games, and they are starting to play better baseball.

The Giants will look to continue their winning ways when they face the Orioles again on Wednesday.
