The New York Yankees are back on the field today for the second game of a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants as they kick off the 2026 season.
This matchup marks the start of the MLB season and was aired on Netflix, with the Yankees dominating the Giants in a 7-0 victory. This was also a significant debut for new Giants manager Tony Vitello, who experienced his first game at the major league level.
Max Fried delivered an impressive performance, throwing six scoreless innings to secure the win. The Yankees’ offense also showed its strength, particularly in the second inning where they managed to score five runs surprisingly quickly.
Expect more action tomorrow as the Yankees and Giants wrap up their series. Following that, the Yankees will travel to Seattle for three games before making their home opener on April 3.
