Friday marked the second game for San Francisco under first-year manager Tony Vitello. He served as Tennessee’s head coach from 2018-25.
The Giants totaled one hit in Game 2 after recording three hits in a, 7-0, series-opening loss on Wednesday.
Vitello discussed the Giants’ loss on Friday.
“As of right now, it’s a little emotional in there and there’s definitely a lot of try-hard,” Vitello said after Game 2. “Regardless of what the root of it is, the guys in the lineup – they’re fully capable.”
A series finale between the Giants and Yankees will be contested on Saturday. First pitch is slated for 7:15 p.m. EDT (Fox).
