Judge’s 3-Run Homer Lifts Yankees to Second Straight Shutout of Giants
SAN FRANCISCO (Interstat) — Aaron Judge’s three-run homer in the sixth inning provided all the offense Friday afternoon as the New York Yankees blanked the San Francisco Giants 3-0 at Oracle Park.
Judge’s two-out blast off losing pitcher Robbie Ray scored Paul Goldschmidt and broke a scoreless tie before a crowd of 40,273. It was the only scoring in a game where Yankees pitchers dominated, limiting the Giants to one hit.
Winning pitcher Cam Schlittler and four relievers combined on the one-hitter, with David Bednar earning the save. The Yankees improved to 2-0, while the Giants fell to 0-2, having been outscored 10-0 in the series opener. The game time was 2 hours, 37 minutes.
