Giants Lose Opener, Webb Struggles

The San Francisco Giants kicked off their season with a challenging 7-0 defeat against the New York Yankees at Oracle Park. Manager Tony Vitello, the teams fortieth skipper, experienced his first game with the Giants after joining from the University of Tennessee last October. Logan Webb, the starting pitcher, had a rocky outing, surrendering five runs in the second inning due to hits, a hit batter, and a second base error. He added two more runs later and was pulled after five innings, leaving with seven runs (six earned) on the board, despite recording his 1,000th career strikeout. The Giants offense also faltered, managing only two hits off Yankees lefty Max Fried, who pitched six and a third strong innings for the victory. The team had a chance to score in the first inning but failed to capitalize. Theyll have a day off on Thursday to regroup before facing All-Star Robbie Ray on Friday, aiming for their first win in the series opener.
