- The Giants have four hits through two games and opened with back-to-back shutouts for the first time in franchise history, matching one of the lowest two-game hit totals to start a season in MLB history.
- The Mets’ offseason remake paid off Thursday at Citi Field in an 11-7 win that chased NL Cy Young winner Paul Skenes in the first inning and featured production from both newcomers and holdovers.
- The White Sox claimed right-hander Bryan Hudson off waivers Friday after the Mets designated him for assignment during their final roster shuffle.
- The opening slate also featured Chris Sale leading Atlanta’s 6-0 win over Kansas City, and MLB’s new ball-strike challenge flipped a called strike in Judge’s at-bat before his go-ahead homer.
