Overview

  • The San Francisco Giants surged to a five-run first inning, highlighted by Jung Hoo Lee's three-run homer and LaMonte Wade Jr.'s two-run double.
  • Marcus Stroman lasted just two outs, allowing five runs on 46 pitches, as his ERA ballooned to 11.57 across three starts this season.
  • Severe weather, including a 26-minute rain delay and persistent rain, led to the game being called in the sixth inning due to deteriorating field conditions.
  • Stroman left the game with left knee discomfort and was sent to the hospital for further testing, raising concerns about his availability moving forward.
  • Yankees manager Aaron Boone criticized the extreme weather conditions, citing player safety issues as rookie Yoendrys Gómez struggled to control pitches late in the game.
