SAN FRANCISCO — The Yankees weren’t the Bronx Bombers early on in their season-opener against the Giants, but it didn’t stop them from putting together a second-inning rally.
They scored five runs in the top of the second at Oracle Park — all with Giants ace Logan Webb on the mound.
Ben Rice grounded out to start the inning before Giancarlo Stanton singled to right-center for the Yankees’ first hit of the night.
Webb then hit Jazz Chisholm Jr. with a pitch and José Caballero opened the scoring with a double to left.
And the bottom of the lineup continued to produce, with Ryan McMahon following with a two-run single up the middle to make it 3-0.
An Austin Wells single kept the rally going and Trent Grisham’s triple to right-center gave the Yankees a 5-0 lead.
The outburst ended with back-to-back strikeouts by Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger.
