Bellinger breaks the ice, Yankees play line recovery to end the losing streak: "This is our strength"

Cody Bellinger, a new recruit who had a "disjointed" start, finally broke out on Saturday, US time, with a single-game contribution with a three-run hit and a first-base hit to help the Yankees beat the Giants 8-4 to end an 11-point slump in five games. 'It's a great feeling, it's exciting to contribute to the win,' Bellinger said, 'but it's a bad start but it's a long season and I'm looking forward to this team.' "

Bellinger, who hit only 7 hits (1 to 89) in the first 37 hits, hit a deep third base hit in the right field against Jordan Hicks in four innings, and added a key first base hit in five innings. Coach Aaron Boone's pre-match prediction came true: "The cold weather affected the line, but I knew they were about to explode. "

The Yankees scored five points in five innings, including a regular second-run home run by Paul Goldschmidt, giving starting pitcher Will Warren his first career victory. The right-pitcher was hit by Wilmer Flores for five innings, but then tackled 10 hitters in a row. "It's a lot of things to see from the family," Warren said, "and learn from the locker room seniors every week and get used to the rhythm of the big leagues." "

Anthony Volpe hit a high-flying sacrifice and Jasson Domínguez hit a two-point hit in five innings to end his 15-game run without a hit. Ben Rice hit a 113.2-mile muzzle shot (the best shot of his career) in six innings, tying the Yankees' all-time record of 27 hits in 14 games to open the season (2011, 2020).

Flores hit another two-point hit in the sixth inning, but Luke Weaver, Mark Leiter Jr. and Devin Williams teamed up to block the rest of the innings. Williams was scored in the ninth inning, but closed with two strikeouts. "He's going to grow into a top-tier finisher," Boone envisioned.

The victory was significant: After Marcus Stroman was on the 15-day injury list due to left knee inflammation, the Yankees were put to the test in depth. The team declared with the second-highest single-game scoring of the season: "When the lines are tandem, the offense spreads like a virus," Rice concluded.
