Brandon Crawford and Joc Pederson each homered in multi-hit efforts to lead the Giants over the Yankees, 7-5.
The assignment Saturday proved slightly easier, after Cole struck out 11 over six innings and didn’t allow a run in the Giants’ season-opening loss. With Carlos Rodón sidelined with a mild forearm strain, the Yankees turned instead to 27-year-old right-hander Clarke Schmidt.After working the count full to lead off the fourth, Pederson put his best golf swing on a sweeping slider from Schmidt and sent it sailing 404 feet into the right-center field seats.
Crawford, who accomplished a goal of playing in all 30 ballparks last season, has now homered in 25 of them. He finished with three RBIs, two runs scored and a triple away from the cycle, after singling and doubling to contribute to scoring rallies in the sixth and the ninth. Cobb, whose workload was already going to be limited after missing two weeks in spring training, labored through a 38-pitch first inning. While it felt like Cobb was walking a tight rope the entire inning — not doing himself any favors, throwing a would-be double-play ball into center field — he limited the Yankees to one run and stranded two runners on base.
