For the second time in two nights, Yastrzemski put the Orioles in an immediate hole with a leadoff homer. On Tuesday, he did it on the second pitch. In this one,“That was pretty cool,” Giants manager Bob Melvin said. “He came in the dugout and said he had the same approach as he did last night, so I guess you stick with it, right? You don’t see that often, two leadoff homers like that.”
“That hurt,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “The catcher is wearing spikes and he’s not really feeling the plate. He came out a half-inch too far.”San Francisco Giants' Heliot Ramos slides into home base to score in front of Baltimore Orioles catcher James McCann during the fourth inning of a baseball game, Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2024, in Baltimore. “In the big inning I didn’t do a good job limiting damage,” Kremer said. “Balls got put in play and a little out of the reach of fielders.
