-Imagn Images After a six-game road trip that saw the Orioles both sweep and get swept, they are back home to kick off a six-game homestand against two NL West teams. First up, it’s the fellow orange and black San Francisco Giants, who are off to 5-8 start and in last place in their division. There won’t be quite as much orange and black on the field as usual, however, since the Orioles are rolling out their brand new City Connect uniforms .

I have always dreamed on the Orioles and Giants facing each other in the World Series on Halloween. Anyway, tonight’s game, which starts at 7:15, is airing on Apple TV. That is annoying both because you need a separate subscription and because we won’t get to hear Kevin Brown, but such is life.

I do have an Apple TV subscription, so join me if you can! Shane Baz is tonight’s starter for the Orioles. His second start, last weekend in Pittsburgh, was better than his first.
