Lee, Wade have big hits as Stroman chased in 5-run 1st, Giants beat Yanks 9-1 in rain-shortened game
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Jung Hoo Lee hit a three-run homer, LaMonte Wade Jr. added a two-run double in a five-run first inning that chased Marcus Stroman and the San Francisco Giants rolled to a rain-shortened 9-1 rout of the New York Yankees on Friday night for their ninth win in 11 games.
San Francisco's first six batters reached on a night of steady rain, giving a 5-0 cushion to Robbie Ray (3-0) before he threw a pitch. The game started with a 44-degree ( 7 Celsius) temperature after 26-minute delay and the Giants scored five runs before their first plate appearance resulting in an out for the first time since May 11, 2006, according to Major League Baseball.
With maybe 5,000 fans left in Yankee Stadium and field conditions deteriorating, umpires stopped the game with the bases loaded and two outs in the top of the sixth as Yoendrys Gomez had troubling gripping the ball. The umps called the game 30 minutes later.
Stroman (0-1) lasted nine batters, throwing 46 pitches and getting two outs. His ERA rose to 11.57 as he allowed four hits and three walks.
San Francisco (10-3) is off to its best start since 2003. The Giants were less than a mile from where they played across the Harlem River at the Polo Grounds from 1889 to 1957 before moving to San Francisco.
New York has lost four of five following a 6-2 start.
Austin Wells hit an RBI double into a stiff wind in the second, just missing a home run when the ball hit flush on the top of the wall and bounced back.
Ray allowed one run but needed 98 pitches in four innings. He got the win because the Giants played only five innings on defense. Key moment
Lee hit his first home run this season on a sinker in the middle of the strike zone. Key stat
Yankees RHP Clarke Schmidt right (rotator cuff tendinitis) allowed three hits over four scoreless innings on Thursday in his second rehab start for Double-A Somerset and is likely to make his New York season debut on Tuesday or Wednesday. Up next
Yankees RHP Will Warren (0-0) and Giants RHP Jordan Hicks (1-0) start Saturday.

Knicks Suggested to Hire Head Coach ‘Responsible For Building' Warriors
Knicks Suggested to Hire Head Coach 'Responsible For Building' Warriors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau was fired after five seasons with the organization, fresh off leading the club to its first Eastern Conference Finals in 25 seasons. Advertisement This leaves pressure on the front office to make a home run of a hire. Instead of giving Thibodeau another season with this squad, to see if he could take them further, they decided they need someone they are confident can take them to the promised land. Jason Kidd, Ime Udoka and Chris Finch -- all three active coaches -- have been linked to the vacancy early in the process. They've all got conference finals experience, with Udoka and Kidd both coaching in the NBA Finals in the past few years. Stephen A. Smith, ESPN pundit and known Knicks superfan, had a clear head coaching suggestion for New York. He wants the team to consider hiring Mark Jackson, a former head coach of the Golden State Warriors. © Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports "I'm gonna always mention the name Mark man was responsible for building Golden State before Steve Kerr was brought in and took over and piggybacked off of that," Smith explained. The logic is interesting here. Did Jackson do a solid job with the Warriors before the dynasty? Absolutely. He won 23 games in year one before winning 51 games in year three. Advertisement In the final two years of his three-year stint, he coached in the playoffs, with a total record of 9-10 in postseason play. However, there was a reason Steve Kerr was brought in to architect the dynasty years. He found success in the playoffs. Of course, Jackson was early to the party, and Kerr struck at the right time -- as Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green were entering their prime years. The New York native being linked to the Knicks makes sense. He's got limited coaching experience, though. While he is attached to the Warriors' dynasty, New York might opt to aim for a bench boss with more experience -- particularly deep in the playoffs. Advertisement Led by Jalen Brunson, the Knicks' title window is seemingly open. New York needs to strike while they can, taking no chances to bolster their ability to raise a banner. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 9, 2025, where it first appeared.

Poaching $116 Million All-Star In Blockbuster Trade Would 'Deepen' Yankees Postseason Rotation
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The New York Yankees' starting rotation is not what many expected coming into the season. They lost Gerrit Cole in spring training and Luis Gil has yet to pitch this season. Max Fried and Carlos Rodón have been great so far, and Ryan Yarbrough has stepped up for the team. However, the Yankees could be looking for a better option than Clarke Schmidt or Will Warren this summer as they set their sights on another World Series berth. They should get Gil back, but another reliable starter would go a long way. Just Baseball's Zach Lutz tabbed Zac Gallen as an option for the Yankees. "The Yankees are also likely to make a move considering Gerrit Cole is out for the year," wrote Lutz. "Max Fried leads the staff, Carlos Rodón has been a great No. 2 and Ryan Yarbrough has stepped up big, but adding Gallen would deepen their October rotation." BOSTON, MA - AUGUST 24: Zac Gallen #23 of the Arizona Diamondbacks pitches against the Boston Red Sox during the fifth inning at Fenway Park on August 24, 2024 in Boston, Massachusetts. BOSTON, MA - AUGUST 24: Zac Gallen #23 of the Arizona Diamondbacks pitches against the Boston Red Sox during the fifth inning at Fenway Park on August 24, 2024 in Boston, is going to be a free agent after the season, and the Arizona Diamondbacks may not be willing to pay him after giving Corbin Burnes a $210 million deal last offseason. Gallen is projected to earn a six-year, $116 million deal on the open market. He has not pitched like himself this year. He was an All-Star in 2023 and had a 3.65 ERA in 28 starts last season. However, this year he has a 5.14 ERA and has walked more batters than any pitcher in the National League. The Diamondbacks are in fourth place in the National League West and six games back of the final wild card spot in the NL. If they fall out of the race between now and July 31, the trade deadline, they could be open to trading Gallen, and the Yankees could be on the phone trying to get him. A rotation of Fried, Rodón, Gil, Gallen and Yarbrough could dominate for the Yankees in October as they look to make it back to the World Series for the second consecutive year.

Red Sox outslug Yankees, possible World Series preview & weekend recap
This past weekend saw the latest chapter in the greatest rivalry in baseball as the Boston Red Sox took on the New York Yankees in the Bronx. While there never needs to be an extra level of competitiveness between the two clubs, Sunday's starter for Boston gave the Bronx Bombers a little extra incentive to try to show him up. Advertisement Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about Hunter Dobbins' absurd comment that made headlines about retiring before signing with the Yankees right before he went on to have a solid outing in the Red Sox's series-clinching game. The guys then discuss why Boston's performance this weekend was extremely frustrating to watch, even though they won two out of three in the Bronx. Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan discuss whether we saw a World Series preview this past weekend when the Chicago Cubs took their series against the Detroit Tigers, why they're really excited to see what Buster Posey does at the trade deadline after the San Francisco Giants made another statement sweep against the Atlanta Braves and whether Corbin Burnes getting Tommy John surgery might actually work out in the Arizona Diamondbacks' favor—for now.
