Overview
- New San Francisco manager Tony Vitello opened Wednesday in a standalone Opening Night game at Oracle Park, where the Yankees won 7-0 and Logan Webb allowed six runs on nine hits in five innings.
- San Francisco’s offense mustered only three singles, one each by Luis Alvarez, Rafael Devers, and Heliot Ramos.
- The game streamed on Netflix as MLB’s only matchup that night, which amplified attention on Vitello’s first outing.
- Vitello gave a blunt review on KNBR, calling the news conference "half painful, half easy" and saying "we just weren’t as good."
- He has surrounded himself with veteran MLB voices — Bruce Bochy, Dusty Baker, Ron Washington, Jayce Tingler, and Ron Wotus — and the focus now shifts to adjustments for Friday’s Game 2.
