Since April of 2019, the Yankees have won eight straight games at Oracle Park (regardless of the name changes), and Saturday they’ll attempt to make it a season-opening three-game sweep of the Giants.
At 4:15 p.m., EDT, it’ll be Yankees’ right-hander Will Warren opposing Giants’ righty Tyler Mahle.
