Gunnar Henderson homered for the second straight day, and Jeremiah Jackson was a triple short of a cycle in a 6-2 Baltimore win over San Francisco (6-9) on Saturday night.

The O’s (7-7) have now won four of five.

Five relievers combined to close out the game with 4.1 scoreless innings, holding the Giants to three hits.
