BALTIMORE - The skidding Baltimore Orioles lost to the San Francisco Giants, 5-3, Wednesday night at Camden Yards. Mike Yastrzemski homered on the game's first pitch, Michael Conforto also hit a solo shot for the Giants, who took the first two games in the series.

The Orioles, 26-30 since the All-Star Game, are now five games back of the New York Yankees in the American League East -- the largest deficit they've faced at any point this season. Baltimore does have a three-game set remaining against the Yankees,
