Yankees Dominate Opening Night, History Made

0:00On March 26, the New York Yankees kicked off the Major League baseball season with a convincing 7-to-nothing win over the San Francisco Giants. On opening night at Oracle Park, their offense exploded early, putting up five runs in the second inning alone, while Starter Max Fried delivered a strong performance with six-and, one-third shut-out innings, allowing just two hits. Coming into the year, the Yankees leaned on the same lineup that led the majors and runs scored last season, betting on their starting pitching to get. Even better, Fried, stepping up as their ace, shook off a shaky start to dominate after the early run support kicked in. Fans saw some notable moments, like Aaron Judd striking out in all four of his at-bats, marking the first time a reigning most valuable player has. Done that on opening day. Still, it marked the Yankees fifth straight win in the season opener. The game also made history as the first Major League contest to use the automatic ball strike system, with Giants infielder Jose Caballero challenging.
