Dominic Smith launched a home run into the bay, Luis Matos and Willy Adames collected four hits apiece and the San Francisco Giants ran their winning streak to six games with an 15-8 shellacking of the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Friday.

Matos and Adames scored three times apiece, while Jung Hoo Lee, Rafael Devers and Matt Chapman had two runs each for the Giants in the opener of a three-game interleague series.

San Francisco hung up double-figure runs for the second time in its past three games after not having any such uprisings in their previous 20 outings. The Giants’ 15 runs and 18 hits were season highs.

Seeking to end a four-game skid, the Orioles got to Giants starter Robbie Ray for a run in the top of the first on Ryan Mountcastle’s first of three hits, an RBI double.

But the San Francisco offense dominated from there, scoring runs in each of the first five innings before slamming the door with a four-run seventh.

Matos had the big hit in a four-run first, a two-RBI single off Orioles starter Dean Kremer (9-10), who allowed four hits and two walks in the inning.

Smith’s bomb to right field came in the fourth, with his fourth homer of the season increasing the margin to 9-4. Matos belted his eighth leading off the fifth, making it 10-6.

Adames and Smith then capped their big nights with run-scoring singles in the seventh. In the eighth, San Francisco’s Drew Gilbert delivered his second run-scoring double of the night.

Spencer Bivens (3-3), who pitched 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, was credited with the win after Ray had left with a 9-6 lead one out into the fifth. Ray didn’t qualify for the victory because he failed to complete five innings, charged with six runs on six hits. He walked three and struck out five.

Kremer was pulled after three innings, having served up seven runs and nine hits. He walked two and struck out one.

Smith finished with two hits and a team-high four RBIs. Matos had four hits, Devers chipped in with two hits and two RBIs, and Chapman a pair of runs and two RBIs.

Coby Mayo hit his sixth homer, a solo shot, in the eighth inning for the Orioles, who have lost five in a row and eight of their past nine.

Mountcastle had three hits, including two doubles, on a night when he ran up four RBIs. Teammate Emmanuel Rivera had two RBIs, Jeremiah Jackson and Alex Jackson scored twice apiece, and Jackson Holliday had two hits.
