Three straight wins. A roster that is starting to find its rhythm at a time of year when consistency matters most.<\/p>\n<p>Friday night in Baltimore added another chapter. The Giants handled the Orioles 6-3 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, with the offense doing its damage in bunches and the pitching staff doing enough to keep things comfortable for most of the night.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco improved to 6-8 on the season and 3-1 on the road.

Jung Hoo Lee had been searching for his stroke through the early weeks of the season, batting in the .100s and struggling to find consistent contact. On Friday, he found it in a big way.<\/p>\n<p>With the Giants leading 4-1 and two outs in the seventh, Lee worked a full count against Baltimore left-handed reliever Nick Rake before pulling a slider over the right-field wall for a two-run homer. His first of the season, coming in his 14th game, and it could not have come at a better time. Earlier in the game, he had added a double in the second inning, finishing with two extra-base hits on the night.<\/p>\n<p>The breakthrough performance was exactly what San Francisco needed from their right fielder. A healthy, confident Jung Hoo Lee changes what this lineup is capable of.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ef894371f9e6b831a396237b76e2a7bd\" class=\"embed_container\">\n<div class=\"lazy-embed lazy-embed--ssr embed-instagram-com lazy-embed--loaded\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DW-TW2elNmu\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=2\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DW-TW2elNmu\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=546&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fheavy.com&amp;rp=%2Fsports%2Fmlb%2Fsan-francisco-giants%2Fjung-hoo-lee-san-francisco-giants%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A236707.5%7D\" height=\"950\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"><\/h2>\n<h2>Adames and Schmitt Fuel the Giants\u2019 Offense<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5696985\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Heavy-Thumbnail_20260106_105532_0000.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Heavy-Thumbnail_20260106_105532_0000.png 1920w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Heavy-Thumbnail_20260106_105532_0000.png?resize=150,84 150w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Heavy-Thumbnail_20260106_105532_0000.png?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Heavy-Thumbnail_20260106_105532_0000.png?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Heavy-Thumbnail_20260106_105532_0000.png?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Heavy-Thumbnail_20260106_105532_0000.png?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Heavy-Thumbnail_20260106_105532_0000.png?resize=782,440 782w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Heavy-Thumbnail_20260106_105532_0000.png?resize=780,439 780w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Heavy-Thumbnail_20260106_105532_0000.png?resize=425,239 425w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Heavy-Thumbnail_20260106_105532_0000.png?resize=320,180 320w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Heavy-Thumbnail_20260106_105532_0000.png?resize=267,150 267w\" alt=\"Giants Get Massive Jung Hoo Lee Development vs Orioles\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5696985\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5696985\">GettyWilly Adames of the San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Willy Adames was the first to get things going.
