Giants match franchise mark at 20 straight innings without a run to start season, then finally score The San Francisco Giants matched a franchise record by reaching 20 straight innings without scoring to begin the season, then finally recorded their first run in the third inning of their third game against the New York Yankees By JANIE MCCAULEY AP baseball writer March 28, 2026, 8:24 PM SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants matched a franchise record Saturday by reaching 20 straight innings without scoring to begin the season, then finally recorded their first run in the third inning against the New York Yankees. San Francisco had been shut out by New York 7-0 and 3-0 with only four hits over its first two games — the first time that had happened in baseball history to start a season. Jung Hoo Lee began the third Saturday with a double to right off Will Warren, then Matt Chapman followed with an RBI single, and the crowd cheered wildly as many fans jumped to their feet in obvious relief. New manager Tony Vitello, promoted from the University of Tennessee despite no professional playing or coaching experience, became the ninth manager in baseball history to be shut out in each of his first two games with a team, and seventh manager to do so in his first two games overall, according to Sportradar. The 20 consecutive scoreless innings matched the previous franchise mark from 1909, when the Giants were scoreless for 13 innings in their opener and the first seven in Game 2.
