The Baltimore Orioles (84-66) are looking to revive their playoff hopes as they open a three-game series against the struggling San Francisco Giants (72-78), who are on a four-game losing streak. The Orioles sit three games behind the New York Yankees in the AL East and have only won two of their last eight games, leading to concerns about their offensive performance. Giants' Blake Snell, who has been strong on the mound recently, will start against the Orioles' Albert Suarez. Meanwhile, the Giants have a chance to break their losing streak, especially with Snell's recent form and the highlight of Heliot Ramos hitting a home run into McCovey Cove. Both teams are aiming to improve their standings as the season nears its end. The game marks the first matchup of the season between these two teams.
