SAN FRANCISCO -- The historic slump is over.
For the first time this season, the Giants scored a run in the first inning. Tyler Austin hit a one-out double off Yankees lefty James Paxton, went to third on Brandon Belt's double and jogged home when Buster Posey hit a sac fly to deep right.
The Giants had gone 25 consecutive games to start the season without scoring their first time up, a National League record. They came three games shy of tying the MLB record set by the 1948 White Sox. The lineup entered the night with just seven hits in 79 first-inning at-bats and the team had been outscored 18-0 in the first after Madison Bumgarner gave up a pair earlier Friday night.
