Giants vs. Yankees Game Highlights (3/30/23) | MLB Highlights
Four years as the Yankee for Gerrit Cole And this will be his fourth opening day assignment, franchise record 257 strikeouts last year and it’s a four pitch walk that begins the proceedings this afternoon that will bring up Michael Conforto making his first major appearance since the October 3rd of 2021. And he follows the four pitch walk with a strikeout. Wilmer Flores, another former Met digging in for San Francisco back to back strikeouts for Cole with a man on the first pitch is going to look like the four seamer coming in a little bit of tail.
Joc Pederson the biggest power threat in the Giants lineup. Two time all star pay off pitch home. They appealed and ring him up a leadoff walk in. Three strikeouts opened the 2023 campaign for the five time all star Gerrit Cole a career year for Webb last year all time best for him and Wynne’s innings E R A game start and the two time batting champ can’t hang on and it’s a strikeout for Logan Web to begin his 2023 season and of course a warm ovation for Aaron judge and judge to drive out to deep centerfield
Yastrzemski looking up and that one is, and well, the question was, what could he do for an encore? How about Homa Ring on the second pitch he sees this
afternoon, the former Yankee Tyro Estrada. Now there’s not only the first base hits for the Giants, their first ball put in play, looking forward to his brother in law, about five strikeouts, threw just an inning and two thirds that will bring up the rookie outfielder Blake Sable two to six strikeouts for Gerrit Cole through two innings this afternoon, Anthony Volpi leads things off in the Yankee half of the third. A bigger yes, a bigger ovation than that taken. Buy Aaron Judge and his proud parents are in attendance here this afternoon would have been in his
JR year at Vanderbilt today. Instead he just draws ball four in his first major league plate assignment aboard to start the home half of the third for DJ LeMahieu There goes Volpi huge lead, no chance to throw him out like a 10 year veteran won’t be able to pick his spots and steal. His first base is a big leaguer 60 too in his record setting 2020 to campaign. He has homered in his first at bat of 2023 and judge way out in front this time, it’s a strikeout for Logan Web. There are to away popped
him up and that will stay playable for Wilmer Flores to retire the side. Nothing comes to the leadoff walk 4th, 2nd walk issue by Gerrit Cole today. Joc Pederson a strikeout victim back in the first nine strikeouts for Gerrit Cole This afternoon, we talked about that Tim Leary opening day. So strikeout record in the Yankee franchise history. Cole has tied it with his ninth and Gerrit Cole has become the first pitcher in Yankees franchise history to rack up a double digit strikeout total on opening day and that is just plain filthy 3 to changeup a
chopper off the bat of Thairo Estrada and nice stretch buy Anthony Rizzo to complete the job at first base. Josh Donaldson stepping in here. He worked in spring training that really kind of simplifying some of his movement’s in the box and a strike to count to Josh Donaldson and that’s going to get past the diving Flores into left field as Donaldson’s aboard on a one out single Gleyber Torres with a high dr to the opposite field. One for Gleyber Torres three, nothing Yankees Homer in his second plate appearance of the season and it’s three Yankees.
When you play the New York Yankees, # 1 is to keep the right handed power in the ballpark. Gerrit Cole back to work and first ball swinging his Michael Conforto who’s got his first hit as a giant and with a man aboard , here’s Wilmer Flores on the ground for the second for one relay to first gets them both. Exactly what he needed that he was scuffling but the first time he looked like command was a little bit squirrelly gets out of it with 2 Ball. Joc Pederson has struck out twice this afternoon. 11 strikeouts
for Gerrit Cole coal 17 swings and misses. Premier starting pitching in this game, Wandy Peralta who is the first out of Aaron Boone’s bullpen this afternoon, Davis has rung up Peralta picking up right where Gerrit Cole left off out into right field for a one out base hit and Estrada’s to, for three today move has been called. You typically see that called the first base umpire Laz Diaz from the plate. If you watch the front foot, he doesn’t step enough towards first base, it’s too much and direction of home plate and two strikes to Crawford
with a runner at second now and a cold strike three taken. Buy Crawford, a couple of changes here with a couple outs in the seventh inning after Gabe Kapler offered the pinch hit, er , David Villar It was a quick move two, the bullpen for Jonathan Lewis that’s dumped into center field for Aaron Judge routine fly ball retires the side. A couple of Yankee arms combined on a scoreless top of the seventh and stretching in the Bronx three nothing for the home side R B I opportunity. Now for the catcher Jose Trevino who struck out
twice against Logan Web this afternoon, there’s a base hit to left. Torreyes will have to stop that third. The Yankees have runners at the corners with one away that will bring up the rookie Anthony Volpi who has stolen his first major league base this afternoon. The two to they got him on a fastball in and their are two away. So it will be up to DJ LeMahieu Now again, he has turned a hat trick today, three strikeouts, all of them swinging against web , but there’s the base hit. You can’t keep a two time batting
champ quiet for that long. An R B I single for DJ LeMahieu and its four nothing Yankees, Aaron Judge with a run in two away and runners at 1st and 2nd. Judge has homered and struck out twice this afternoon off the fist a little flare that could drop and it will. Trevino scores five. The Yankees a 422 ft homer and I don’t know, 72 ft thang than any other team had by far. Wait pops it up, Trevino giving chase. He’s able to make the catch. You’ve got shadows. You’ve got netting was a great job by
Trevino sticking with that and there to gone now for Michael Conforto, who is one for three on his Giants debut today , still two balls and two strikes to Conforto in play for Rizzo Little Bobble and a flip to retire the side in order in the 8th 1st pitch clock violation. Even though the Cubs have a four nothing lead over Milwaukee. There’s one down here in the ninth. Joc Pederson who is sitting on a hat trick afternoon, three strikeouts, all of them coming out the hand of Gerrit Cole and there’s ball four Pederson So that
will bring up a second plate appearances for JD Davis who was a pinch hitter back in the seventh and struck out. I think we had a clock violation just now. There was an automatic strike that was taken on JD Davis. So barren. Astudillo gets the strike out the easier route by starting on. Oh and one punches out Davis. Their are two gone and the Giants are down to their final out today. Thairo Estrada, who has half of the giant’s hits this afternoon and that will do it in two hours and 33 minutes. A convincing opening
day shutout win for the New York Yankees. Aaron Judge Homers Garrett Cole dominates and the Yankees are one and oh to begin the 2023 campaign
