This game was the best of times, it was the wildest of times, and occasionally, it was the scariest of times. But at the end of it, the San Francisco Giants had their first win of the season, defeating the New York Yankees, 7-5, today in New York.
Things didn’t look so promising early in the game. In the bottom of the first inning, with two runners on, Giancarlo Stanton was given a gift when he hit a comebacker to Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb, who then threw way over the head of Thairo Estrada and into the outfield, turning what could have been an inning-ending double play into the Yankees’ first run, as Aaron Judge came in to score.
