Yankees 7-0 Opening Day win over Giants, Fried dominates

Fried's outing was a masterclass, giving up just two hits and striking out four, while the Yankees' offense produced seven runs. The 7-0 win was the Giants' worst opening‑day loss in decades and the most lopsided in a season opener.

Giants rookie manager Tony Vitello said the team's energy was wasted against a pitcher who could "shove that energy where the kayaks can’t float." Yankees manager Aaron Boone praised Fried's arsenal, and Aaron Judge struck out four times, the first reigning MVP to do so in a season opener. Jose Caballero's historic ABS challenge was the only Yankees loss of the night.
