Giants Humiliated With Historic 20 Scoreless Innings As Yankees Complete Brutal 3-Game Sweep
The Giants entered with a franchise record 20 consecutive scoreless innings, matching a mark from 1909. New manager Tony Vitello, hired from college with zero pro experience, was shut out in his first 2 games.
Ben Rice smashed a 2-run double in the 3rd inning against right-hander Tyler Mahle, making his San Francisco debut. Mahle lasted just 4 innings as the Yankees seized an early lead.
In the bottom of the 3rd, Jung Hoo Lee cracked a double to right. Matt Chapman followed with an RBI single — finally putting the Giants on the scoreboard in 2026. Fans jumped to their feet.
Aaron Judge launched a 383-foot homer in the 5th — his 2nd straight game going deep. The ball ricocheted off the roof of an ambulance parked in the tunnel just inside the foul pole.
Jake Bird delivered 1 2/3 innings of clutch relief. David Bednar entered for the save, surrendered 2 straight singles, then forced Patrick Bailey into a game-ending double play to seal the victory.
Yankees completed a dominant 3-game sweep, winning 3-1. Aaron Boone earned his 700th managerial win. The Giants managed only 4 hits across their first 2 games — a first in baseball history.
