San Francisco vs New York   Results, Match Player Stats & Records

After producing one of their biggest innings in the early going, the Yankees hope to enjoy another productive day at the plate Sunday afternoon when they host the San Francisco Giants in forecasted slightly better weather, with a projected game-time temperature of around 50 degrees.

After playing in freezing weather in three afternoon games against the Detroit Tigers, the Yankees returned home and played in rainy conditions the first two games against the Giants. They took a 9-1 rain-shortened loss Friday when the game-time temperature in a heavy downpour was 44 degrees and earned an 8-4 win Saturday while playing through light rain and a game-time temperature of 41 degrees.

Cody Bellinger, who entered Saturday in a 3-for-21 slump, had an RBI triple in a two-run first inning and a tiebreaking RBI single in a five-run fifth. Jasson Dominguez snapped an 0-for-15 skid with a two-run single to cap the inning as the Yankees finished with 11 hits, marking the sixth time they've had at least 10 hits.

"We did a great job of obviously starting the game hot and adding pressure," Bellinger said.

Paul Goldschmidt added an RBI double while Ben Rice homered and reached base three times and is hitting .333 in five games out of the leadoff spot.

"It's great," Rice said. "I think that's how our lineup goes. I mean it's contagious."

The Giants allowed their second-most runs all season and struck out 12 times. It was the sixth time they have struck out at least 10 times in a game, and Mike Yastrzemski struck out three times in his second start as a leadoff hitter.

Wilmer Flores continued to wield a hot bat by driving in all four runs. He hit a two-run homer along with a two-run double and has 19 RBIs and a .302 average through the first 14 games.

"He's just into his legs," San Francisco manager Bob Melvin said of Flores, who was limited to 71 games in 2024. "Last year with the knee issue he had, he really couldn't drive the ball.

"It's just a different guy right now. He's always been a guy (who has) gotten big hits, and he's had huge hits for us this year."

Logan Webb (1-0, 1.89 ERA) will make his 150th career appearance for the Giants after completing seven innings in consecutive starts. Webb has completed seven innings 17 times since the start of last season and took a no-decision Monday when he struck out 10 in seven scoreless innings of a 2-0 loss to the visiting Cincinnati Reds.

Webb has allowed three runs or fewer each time out so far and 12 of his past 14 starts since July 25.

Webb is 0-2 with a 5.54 ERA in two career starts against the Yankees. He allowed four runs in seven innings last June 1 in San Francisco and four runs in six innings March 30, 2023, in New York when he also struck out 12.

Carlos Rodon (1-2, 5.19 ERA), who has allowed nine runs over his past two outings, starts for New York. Rodon allowed six runs (five earned) on four hits in six innings in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He allowed a three-run homer with two outs in the third.

Rodon won 14 games in his only season with the Giants before signing with the Yankees following the 2022 season. He has never faced the Giants, and the only hitters to ever face him are Willy Adames (3-for-14) and Matt Chapman (0-for-3).
