Overview

  • The San Francisco Giants secured a 9-1 victory over the New York Yankees in a rain-shortened game called in the sixth inning due to deteriorating weather conditions.
  • Marcus Stroman allowed five runs on four hits and three walks in just two-thirds of an inning, throwing 46 pitches before being pulled from the game.
  • Giants' Jung Hoo Lee hit a three-run homer and LaMonte Wade Jr. added a two-run double in a dominant five-run first inning that set the tone for the game.
  • Stroman was taken to the hospital for tests on his left knee after complaining of discomfort, raising further questions about his role in a Yankees rotation already plagued by inconsistency.
  • The Yankees, now 7-6 on the season, have lost four of their last five games and continue to face offensive struggles, managing only two hits in Friday's loss.
