The San Francisco Giants will look to avoid a series sweep against the visiting New York Yankees on Saturday night. The Giants, who finished 81-81 overall and 42-39 at home last season, are still seeking their first win of the 2026 campaign after dropping the first two games of the series. The Yankees, who were 94-68 overall and 44-37 on the road in 2025, will send Will Warren to the mound, while the Giants will counter with Tyler Mahle.
Why it matters
This series finale represents an early-season opportunity for the Giants to get on track and avoid falling further behind in the NL West race. The Yankees, one of the American League's top teams a year ago, are looking to continue their strong start and build momentum heading into the rest of the season.
The details
The Giants' pitching staff posted a 3.83 ERA and averaged 8.5 strikeouts per nine innings in 2025, while the Yankees' staff had a 3.91 ERA and averaged 9.0 strikeouts and 3.5 walks per nine innings. Both teams have several key players on the injured list to start the season, including the Yankees' Gerrit Cole and the Giants' Reiver Sanmartin.
- The series finale is scheduled for Saturday, March 28, 2026 at 7:15 p.m. EDT.
