"Aaron Judge showed that his season somehow wasn't over after seven fruitless at-bats, crushing a two-run homer off Giants lefthander Robbie Ray in the sixth inning to break a scoreless tie in a 3-0 win."
"The second-year righthander in many ways was the story of Friday's game, as Yankees pitchers have recorded back-to-back shutouts, opening a season with 18 straight scoreless innings for the first time in franchise history."
"Judge ended that season hitting .322 with 58 homers, 144 RBIs and a 1.159 OPS to take home his second MVP. No, he wasn't on the list of question marks for this season."
"Even with the minor lower-back issue that led the Yankees to slow-play Schlittler throughout spring training, he was among the reasons the organization felt it would be a strong season."
The Yankees achieved a 2-0 start to the season with a 3-0 victory over the Giants, highlighted by Aaron Judge's two-run homer and Giancarlo Stanton's subsequent home run. Cam Schlittler, the starting pitcher, contributed to the team's success with a strong performance, marking the franchise's first 18 scoreless innings to start a season. Judge's previous struggles were overshadowed by his powerful hit, while Schlittler's recovery from a minor injury raised questions about his performance following a successful debut season.
