Play the hit

Yankees 3, Giants 0

The hit screamed down the right field line. It bounded toward the corner of the brick wall, demanding a long run out of Forever Almost Giant Aaron Judge.

Heliot Ramos pulled into second and celebrated toward his teammates, reaping the rewards of slashing at a fastball off the plate at 100 mph.

That hit was the hit. The only hit. The first and the last, setting up a day of firsts: The first time the Giants haven’t scored in the first two games of the season, and the first time they’ve recorded four or fewer hits in the first two games.

What’s more, according to the AP’s Josh Dubow, the Giants are the first team ever to not score and have five or fewer hits in the first two games of the season.

Twist and turn the numbers however you want, it’s clear the 2026 San Francisco Giants are a hit.

Up next: The Giants will send Landon Roupp to the mound as they try to avoid a season-opening sweep. The Yankees counter with Will Warren. First pitch at 4:15 pm.
