Stripling tagged for 3 HRs, Giants limited to 3 hits and shut out for 2nd time in 3 games in season-opening series loss.
NEW YORK — Ross Stripling once likened his over-the-top pitching motion to the “Iron Mike” machines that serve batting practice in cages across the country. Making his Giants debut in their series finale against the Yankees, that comparison landed a little too literally, as Stripling more or less served the same purpose for Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Kyle Higashioka.
It was an uncharacteristic introduction to the San Francisco fanbase for Stripling, who allowed four runs on six hits, walked two batters and hit another, and struck out three over five rocky innings. He was one of two free-agent starters the Giants signed this winter, inking a two-year, $25 million deal.
Before he had recorded three outs, Stripling had already exceeded his number of spring walks and was a tenth of the way to his total from the previous season. He added a hit batsman to his line in the fifth, plunking Anthony Rizzo before picking him off first base.
