Final game: San Francisco Giants @ Baltimore Orioles (game 3)

 A day game!

With a 1.05pm start, this is only the third day game I've had, and I was quite surprised to see the stands as full as they were.  Even though it's a Thursday afternoon, there appear to be lots of school-age children here.  There's a lot fewer empty seats on the club level too.  The upper deck is very sparsely populated though.

Today, I had a turkey carvery at the ballpark.  On a burger bun.  I could have had the beef instead, but I think I'm going to be having that for dinner this evening, so I had something different.

I also sat in my allotted seat today, even though it was crowded, as it wasn't as humid.  However, it has been the hottest day of my holiday today, with the temperature mid-afternoon at 30C/86F. 

Mike Yastrzemski didn't lead off the third game in a row with a home run.  In fact, there was no scoring until the fourth inning when Michael Conforto hit a 2-run HR for us, only for Baltimore to score 3 in the bottom of the 4th.

There was no more scoring until the Orioles' closer had a meltdown in the 9th inning trying to close out the win.

San Francisco managed to level the game up at 3-3 and were unlucky not to actually take the lead,

The bottom of the 9th inning was very tense, until Anthony Santander managed to just about hit a home run over the outstretched arm of the Giants right fielder to win the game for Baltimore 5-3.

There were a handful of other Giants fans around.  Unlike the 49ers game where the Jets fans stood out a mile because they were wearing green to everybody else's red, the Giants and the Orioles share the same colours of white/black/orange, so it was hard to locate other Giants supporters.

That wraps up the baseball portion of my trip, and indeed pretty much the whole thing.  Both the Giants and I are leaving town in the next 24 hours, although they are flying to Kansas City to start a three game series whilst I'll be flying home.
