Giants Rout Yankees 9-1 in Rain-Shortened Game

The San Francisco Giants defeated the New York Yankees 9-1 in a rain-shortened game, marking their best start since 2003 with nine wins in their last eleven games. The Giants capitalized on a disastrous outing from Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman, who lasted only two outs while giving up four hits and three walks, raising his ERA to 11.57. In a subsequent game, the Yankees bounced back to win 8-4, with Will Warren earning his first major league victory and Ben Rice hitting a solo home run. Wilmer Flores notably contributed to the Giants' efforts with a two-run homer, tying him for the MLB lead in home runs early in the season. Despite these moments, the Yankees' performance has raised concerns about their competitiveness after a strong start to the season. Manager Aaron Boone's team has struggled, losing four of their last five games following a promising 6-2 beginning.
