For the first time under manager Tony Vitello, the Giants have a winning streak.

Willy Adames and Jung Hoo Lee homered and drove in two runs apiece while Landen Roupp pitched six innings of one-run ball as San Francisco defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 6-3, on Friday night at Camden Yards for its third straight win to kick off a nine-game road trip.

Designated hitter Casey Schmitt went 3 for 4 with two runs scored. Despite going hitless in his first three games and dealing with low back tightness, Schmitt is hitting .333 with a .912 OPS.

The Giants scored 30 runs over their first 11 games (2.7 per game) and were outscored by 27 runs, but over their last three games, they’ve scored 17 runs (5.7 per game) and outscored their opponent by 14 runs.

Adames has totaled two hits in each of his last four games, going 8 for 17 with six extra-base hits (five doubles, one homer) while only striking out one time.

Lee’s first home run of the season came at an opportune time for the struggling right fielder, who entered play hitting .143 with a .439 OPS. By OPS+, Lee entered play hitting 71% worse than a league-average hitter.

Adames, who totaled five doubles against the Phillies, opened the scoring in the top of the third with an opposite-field solo homer off Shane Baz. It was his second home run of the year, and it gave the Giants a 1-0 lead.

The Orioles nearly tied the game in the bottom of the third, but Lee kept San Francisco’s lead intact with a masterful play, albeit one that won’t make the highlight reels.

With the speedy Gunnar Henderson on first, Baltimore’s Adley Rutschman turned on a pitch from Roupp and hit it off the right field wall. Lee perfectly played the carom, then fired a throw to second baseman Luis Arraez, forcing Henderson to stop at third. With two on and two out, Roupp struck out Pete Alonso to end the threat.

San Francisco tripled its lead in the top of the fourth on an opposite-field RBI single by Heliot Ramos and an RBI double by Adames, tagging Baz for four hits and expanding to its lead to 3-0.

The Giants’ streak of 23 consecutive scoreless innings ended in the fourth when the Orioles’ Leody Taveras doubled in a run off Roupp, cutting the lead to 3-1.

In the top of the seventh, San Francisco doubled its advantage to 6-1. Schmitt doubled home Matt Chapman, then Lee cleared the fences for the first time this season with a two-run shot.

The Orioles had an opportunity to cut into the Giants’ lead in the bottom of the eighth when Alonso and Samuel Basallo drew back-to-back two-out walks off JT Brubaker, but left-hander Matt Gage extinguished the rally by getting Ryan Mountcastle.

Baltimore made things interesting in the bottom of the ninth inning as Gunnar Henderson hit a two-out, two-run homer off Blade Tidwell, then Taylor Ward immediately followed up with a double. Despite those back-to-back extra-base hits, Tidwell secured the win by getting Rutschman to pop out.
