Last Wednesday, New York Yankees<\/a> outfielder Aaron Judge went hitless on MLB Opening Day for the first time in his three-time MVP career. <\/p>\n

Judge became the first reigning MVP to strike out four times on Opening Day, per MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Yankees beat the San Francisco Giants 7-0 anyway, behind spectacular pitching from Max Fried. <\/p>\n

While Judge has started the season with a .150 batting average, including two home runs, New York can take solace in the fact that nobody is hitting well against the Yankees.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday night, the Yankees improved to 4-1 with a 5-0 win against the Seattle Mariners. Fried went seven innings, struck out seven, and allowed three hits to maintain his pristine 0.00 ERA for at least another few days.<\/p>\n

According to MLB<\/a>, the Yankees tied the 1943 St. Louis Cardinals for the fewest runs allowed through the first five games of a season. New York has allowed three runs. <\/p>\n

For the scorecards at home, the Yankees results so far are as follows: a 7-0 win against San Francisco on March 25, a 3-0 win against San Francisco on March 27, a 3-1 win against San Francisco on March 28, a 2-1 loss to Seattle on March 30, and a 5-0 win against Seattle on March 31.<\/p>\n

Entering the season, The Athletic’s Jim Bowden<\/a> ranked the Yankees’ starting rotation of Fried, Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, Ryan Weathers, and Luis Gil as the third-best in MLB. That’s before the Yanks get back former Cy Young winner Gerrit Cole from Tommy John surgery, which cost him all of 2025<\/a>, or Clarke Schmidt from his July 2025 Tommy John surgery<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Carlos Rod\u00f3n is on the 15-day IL with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

The Yankees have one more game in Seattle on Wednesday before hosting their home opener against the Miami Marlins on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last Wednesday, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went hitless on MLB Opening Day for the first time…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":656385,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2376],"tags":[5,4,1690,62,2548,2547,142],"class_list":{"0":"post-656384","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-yankees","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-yankees","12":"tag-newyork","13":"tag-newyorkyankees","14":"tag-yankees"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116329038487724223","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=656384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/656385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=656384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=656384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=656384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
