Cam Schlittler Dominates Yankees’ One-Hit Shutout; Aaron Judge Launches First Homer
At Oracle Park on March 27, 2026, the New York Yankees beat the San Francisco Giants 3-0. Cam Schlittler delivered a one-hit start and four relievers completed a shutout. Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton each hit their first home runs of the season.
This sequence followed Max Fried’s strong Opening Day performance. The back-to-back shutouts marked the first time the Yankees began a season that way. The club also became the first team ever to hold opponents scoreless and limit them to five or fewer hits through two games.

Schlittler’s efficient start
The 25-year-old right-hander recorded eight strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings. He produced the first 16 outs using 68 pitches.
Schlittler left with a 70-pitch count because of offseason back inflammation. He said the limitation was beyond his control and plans to build up pitch totals.
Key moments on the mound
Schlittler opened with a 10-pitch, 10-strike first inning. Austin Wells aided the effort by winning an ABS challenge that converted a pitch to strike three.
Heliot Ramos supplied the lone hit against Schlittler with a two-out double in the second inning. The Giants added only two more baserunners via walks later in the game.
Bullpen closes the deal
Fernando Cruz, Tim Hill, Camilo Doval and David Bednar retired the final innings. Their work preserved the one-hit shutout started by Schlittler.
Wednesday’s opener featured Fried and the bullpen combining on a three-hit shutout. The consecutive shutouts underscored early-season dominance from New York pitching.
Offense provided by Judge and Stanton
Aaron Judge broke a slump in the sixth inning. He challenged a strike, worked a full count, and then homered for a two-run shot measured at 405 feet.
Two batters later, Giancarlo Stanton added a 414-foot homer. The two long balls secured the 3-0 lead and set the Yankees up for a potential sweep.
Stat and outlook
The club improves a historical mark when Judge and Stanton both homer. Yankees manager and players praised the pitching depth and timely offense.
Schlittler expressed excitement for the next start by Will Warren. The team heads into Saturday aiming to complete the series sweep.
