The New York Yankees suffered a rough 9-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants in a rain-shortened series opener on Friday night.
Yankees starter Marcus Stroman gave up five runs in the first inning, allowing four hits, including a home run, and three walks. The team managed its only run in the second inning on Austin Wells’ RBI double.
The Giants added three more runs in the fifth and another in the sixth. The game was eventually called in the top of the sixth due to worsening weather conditions, marking yet another loss in the Yankees’ 2025 campaign.
