Aaron Judge homers again, Yankees pitching gets job done in 3-1 win over Giants

The Yankees  pitching staff worked in and out of trouble against San Francisco's lineup, as New York defeated the Giants, 3-1, on Saturday night to complete the three-game sweep. Ben Rice drove in two runs and Aaron Judge mashed a homer for the second straight game to provide the offense, while Yankees pitchers induced four double plays to keep the Giants hitters off the board. The Yankees outscored the Giants, 13-1, in the three-game sweep.

New York has now started 3-0 for the third straight season. Here are the takeaways... -The Yankees had a chance early on in this one.

Cody Bellinger hit a two-out triple, but was stranded when Rice grounded out to end the threat. Rice would get his chance again in the third, which was set up by ABS. Trent Grisham challenged a called third strike and won, working a one-out walk two pitches later.

Bellinger followed with a single to put runners on the corners for Rice. The first baseman lined a down down the right field line to score two runs. Giancarlo Stanton followed with a hard-hit single to left fielder Heliot Ramos , who gunned down Rice trying to score from second base.
