The Yankees faced a disappointing loss against the San Francisco Giants, dropping a close game 5-4 at Yankee Stadium. Carlos Rodon had a strong performance until the sixth inning when Jung Hoo Lee hit a game-changing three-run homer, marking his second of the day off Rodon. This shift in momentum turned a promising 3-1 Yankees lead into a deficit, complicating their early-season efforts as they now struggle with consistency.

Despite showing flashes of brilliance, the Yankees have lost two consecutive series, with Rodon notably frustrated by the high number of walks he has allowed, which has contributed to their recent difficulties. Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. managed to score for New York, but a crucial error by Paul Goldschmidt in the field led to an unearned run. With Marcus Stroman on the injured list, the Yankees are eager to find stability as they look to bounce back against the Kansas City Royals.
