Giants Lose Opener, Webb Struggles

On March 26th, the San Francisco Giants opened their season with a rough seven-nothing loss

to the New York Yankees at Oracle Park. It marked the debut for new manager Tony Vitelo,

the 40th skipper in team history after coming over from the University of Tennessee last,

October. Logan Webb handled the first inning perfectly, but unraveled in the second,

allowing five runs on hits, a hit batter, and a fielding miscue at second.

He gave up two more runs later and left after five innings, with seven runs charged,

six earned, despite notching his 1,000th career strikeout. Vitelo called it a straightforward

poor night where the team fell short of its potential while Webb owned the second inning collapse

that put them in a hole early. Other players echoed the frustration, but shrugged it off as

just one game out of 162. The Giants often struggled badly, scraping together only two hits off Yankees

left the max fried, who pitched six and a third solid innings for the win. They loaded the

bases with one out in the first, but couldn't push a run across. An off day Thursday gives them time

to regroup before all-star Robbie Ray takes the mound Friday against the Yankees, aiming for that

bounce back win. In the series opener, you've been listening to MLB News today, AI-powered baseball
