The Yankees stable of arms has come out the gate hotter than the Sun. After a 7-0 victory over the Giants on Opening Night, the Bombers, led by young star Cam Schlittler, continued to post zero after zero on Friday afternoon en route to a 3-0 series-clinching victory. Schlittler combined with four relievers for a one-hit shutout against a listless San Francisco offense, and a pair of sixth-inning home runs from Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton proved to be all the firepower necessary to sew up the win.

Both starters worked brisk first innings—Schlittler collected a pair of Ks, the second of which came after a successful ABS challenge from Austin Wells. Both offenses then built rallies in the second, but both fizzled out. Giants starter Robbie Ray stranded two runners by getting new Yankee Randal Grichuk on a soft liner, then Schlittler navigated around a two-out double from Heliot Ramos.

The pitcher’s duel continued into the middle innings. Schlittler in particular was in a groove, working efficiently through four—requiring only 54 pitches. He struck out Rafael Devers and Willy Adames back-to-back to end the home fourth with six Ks. Ray responded by needing just five pitches to retire the side in order in the top of the fifth, but that just gave Schlittler the opportunity to rack up two more strikeouts in a row in a 1-2-3 bottom half.

So, don’t you think there’s a player who’s been conspicuously absent from this recap so far? A Bay Area native who tends to bring the fireworks? Well, wonder no longer: Aaron Judge has arrived in 2026. After a leadoff double from Paul Goldschmidt to start the sixth, Judge turned around an inside fastball and kept it fair down the left-field line for a towering two-run home run. His first hit and homer of the year made it 2-0 Bombers.

Ray would depart from the game a batter later, with that one blemish tarnishing what was a very strong season debut for the veteran. But the power party continued after he left the game, as Giancarlo Stanton had a mighty greeting for reliever Jose Buttó: a 414-foot moonshot to left field for a 3-0 Yankee edge.

It looked like Schlittler could have kept pitching for six more innings, but since he isn’t fully built up yet, Aaron Boone opted to lift him for Fernando Cruz just before the third time through the order. He got about as far as Boone could have hoped, finishing his season debut with a sparkling line: 5.1 innings, no runs, one hit, no walks, and eight strikeouts. He was ruthlessly efficient, with just 68 pitches and 49 strikes.

With the combined performances of Schlittler and Max Fried on Opening Day, the Yankees got scoreless outings from each of their first two starters. That matches just one other team in Yankees history: the 2003 squad with Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte.

The Giants’ offensive futility continued in the seventh, as even Tim Hill grabbed a pair of punchouts; both Devers and Adames fell by way of the K against the funky lefty. Then former Giant Camilo Doval continued his triumphant return to Oracle Park in the eighth by striking out the side amid groans from orange-and-black-clad partisans.

The Yankees threatened to expand the lead a few times in the late innings, but those attempts fell by the boards. José Caballero nearly manufactured a run by himself in the seventh, but was thrown out at home on a contact play gone awry. Then Caballero got an opportunity with the bases loaded in the eighth before rolling over to Matt Chapman at third base to end the inning.

So in a three-run game, it was up to David Bednar to grab his first save of the year. He started out with a groundball to third from Harrison Bader, then got WBC foe Luis Arráez to roll over to second. A two-out walk to Matt Chapman gave the Giants a pulse and handed an opportunity to habitual Yankee-torturer Devers, but the former Red Sock pounded a ball into the dirt for the 27th out. Bednar’s save capped off a nearly perfect pitching performance—just one hit allowed.

Tomorrow, the Yankees go for the sweep. (That’s right: they don’t play on Sunday.) Will Warren will get the ball against veteran righty Tyler Mahle, with first pitch coming at 7:15 PM. It’s another national TV game: FOX will have the call.

Box Score

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cavaliers starting center Jarrett Allen returned to the lineup on Friday after missing 10 games with a knee injury, giving Cleveland a major boost as it ramps up for the NBA playoffs.

Allen has been out since he got hurt on March 3 while playing Detroit. The injury didn’t initially appear serious, but the Cavs reported it as “severe” tendinitis and took a cautious approach while the 27-year-old recovered.

Coach Kenny Atkinson said the 6-foot-11 Allen will likely be limited to 20 minutes as the Cavs play their second game in three nights against the Miami Heat.

The Cavs have been dealing with injuries all season, and the timing of Allen’s has been especially troubling with only nine games left in the regular season. Cleveland, which is holding the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference, hasn’t had many games at full strength.

Allen has also only played a handful of games with James Harden, whose addition at the trade deadline has raised title hopes for the Cavs.

Atkinson said he’s grateful the team has a “runway” to get Allen up to speed with Harden, All-Star Donovan Mitchell and others.

Cleveland’s defense has suffered without Allen, who paired with reigning defensive player of the year Evan Mobley, gives the Cavs one of the league’s most formidable front lines.

“It starts at the rim with him — at both ends,” said Atkinson. “He gives us a threat and protects the rim, and it makes life easier. He’s like a 7-foot goalie. He’s a big part of what we do.”

Allen is averaging 15.3 points and 9.2 rebounds in 51 starts this season.

Before getting hurt, Allen had one of the best offensive stretches of his career, a run that coincided with Mobley being out with a left calf strain. On Feb. 1, Allen scored a career-high 40 points and added 17 rebounds against Portland.

While Allen is back, the Cavs are still without Jaylon Tyson (toe) and Dean Wade (ankle), two rotational players.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Sarah Strong chose UConn over North Carolina instead of staying home, and the All-America sophomore forward is a step closer to a second national title after helping knock the Tar Heels out of the women’s NCAA Tournament.

Strong, who is from Durham, not far from the UNC campus, had 21 points and 10 rebounds as the defending champion and overall No. 1 seed Huskies won 63-42 on Friday. UConn is going to the Elite Eight for the 30th time, and will face familiar foe Notre Dame.

“She’s just such a hard guard. I mean, I love the kid. I love the kid, who she is, her core. I love her family, but I really love her as a basketball player,” said North Carolina coach Courtney Banghart, who recruited Strong. “She’s so fun to watch. And she’s a problem, right? She hurt us in off-ball action and non-ball action.”

After Blanca Quiñonez made a layup at the start of the second quarter to put UConn (37-0) ahead to stay, Strong then made four consecutive field goals in a two-minute span. That was part of a stretch when the Huskies outscored fourth-seeded North Carolina 37-13 over the second and third quarters.

“I started looking at … being more aggressive, and I know that probably opens up my teammates,” Strong said. “It gives me confidence to keep doing it, and gives my team confidence to keep shooting and keep playing well.”

UConn will play the sixth-seeded Fighting Irish (25-10) in the Fort Worth Region 1 final Sunday to fill the first slot for the Final Four in Phoenix. Hannah Hidalgo had a 31-point triple-double in Notre Dame’s 67-64 win over No. 2 seed Vanderbilt earlier Friday. The Irish lost 85-47 in a regular-season game at UConn on Jan. 19.

It will be the ninth meeting between UConn and Notre Dame in March Madness. Their first eight tourney games, the last in 2019, were all in the Final Four, including back-to-back national championship games in 2014 and 2015. UConn won both of those during its run of four consecutive titles.

Indya Nivar scored a career-high 20 points for fourth-seeded North Carolina (28-8).

Azzi Fudd, also an AP All-American, had 10 points for the Huskies, who are seeking their 13th national championship and extended their overall winning streak to 53 games. Quiñonez finished with 16 points off the bench, including the go-ahead basket before Strong’s quick scoring spurt.

“The hardest job that we as coaches have is getting her to do that for not seven minutes but 27 minutes,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said of Strong. “To act like that, to think like that, you know, to impose herself on the game like that. It’s a real challenge. … Then when she does it, she makes it look so easy.”

A second-quarter surge into the second half

Strong, the Big East Player of the year, had 11 points in the second quarter, when UConn outscored the Tar Heels 17-8 to take a 28-20 halftime lead. Also the league’s top defender, she finished with two blocked shots and five steals.

UConn came out of the break with a 12-0 run that included a layup and a 3-pointer by Fudd, who in the first half was held to two points on 1-of-7 shooting.

The Tar Heels had 24 turnovers and shot a season-low 28% (17 of 60) from the field.

“Especially defensively that first half, we were about as good as you want to be,” said Auriemma, who got his 1,287th career win. “Then that third quarter our offense caught up to our defense, and we kind of separated ourselves.”

Not so sweet for the Tar Heels

North Carolina hasn’t advanced past the Sweet 16 since 2014, which was 20 years after its only national title.

This was another disappointing Sweet 16 game. Their season finished in the same round last year with a 47-38 loss to Atlantic Coast Conference rival Duke.

Huskies steal a record

UConn’s 18 steals pushed its season total to an NCAA-record 583, breaking Grambling’s mark 580 set in 1997.

“Sometimes you just have the kind of team that enjoys playing like that, and you have players that have that kind of mindset,” Auriemma said. “It’s really just a mindset and a constant pressure leads to the other team making mistakes. … I didn’t know there was any record available to steal, but we do have a lot of them over the season, and we do force a lot of turnovers.”

The 2026 men’s NCAA Tournament is down to its Sweet 16 and we’ll have a Final Four by Sunday evening. For half of the college stars taking the court this weekend, it’s one final opportuniy to impress NBA teams with their play at full game speed when the lights are brightest as this year’s draft class comes into focus.

The 2026 NBA draft is expected to take place in late June. In USA TODAY’s latest mock draft, Iowa’s Bennett Stirtz  is expected to go in the first round. Here’s how USA TODAY currently projects the guard’s draft night will play out.

Our draft order is based on ESPN’s projected records and factors in trades, including swaps and protections.

Bennett Stirtz 2026 NBA Draft prediction: Pick No. 19 overall, Toronto Raptors

Kalbrosky’s Analysis:

The Raptors could use another guard and should have Bennett Stirtz on their priority list. After transferring from Division II to a mid-major and then to a high-major program, he is at the top of the class in creating his own shot off the dribble in isolation or the pick-and-roll. The All-Big Ten guard can also finish plays from dribble handoffs. The Raptors play at a slow pace, which would translate well for Stirtz, who is doing the same at Iowa. While he has not looked stellar during March Madness, he has still earned a spot in the Sweet 16.

Braylon Mullins 2026 NBA Draft prediction: Pick No. 29 overall, Cleveland Cavaliers

Kalbrosky’s Analysis:

Braylon Mullins, a five-star recruit and former McDonald’s All-American, missed the start of the season due to an ankle injury. But he has returned to action for the Huskies and has shown what makes him such an appealing player. He is a useful off-ball threat, which gives him an immediately practical role at the next level. The Big East All-Freshman wing shot 40.7 percent on 3-pointers during his first 18 games in the starting lineup, but it may be tough for scouts to forget his 0-for-8 performance from beyond the arc during his first game in March Madness.

Cam Schlittler shoved in his first start of the 2026 season while Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton left the yard as the Yankees defeated the Giants, 3-0, on Friday afternoon in San Francisco.

It’s the 60th time Judge and Stanton homered in the same game. 

After Max Fried and the bullpen blanked the Giants in Wednesday’s opener, the Yankees had an encore. Through two games, Yankees pitching has allowed zero runs on just four hits.

Here are the takeaways…

-Schlittler was on his game early, getting two strikeouts in the first inning, including getting Rafael Devers looking — thanks to a successful ABS challenge by the Yanks. Schlittler would continue to keep the Giants lineup off balance with his impressive pitch mix, even striking out four consecutive batters at one point.

His only mistake came in the second when Heliot Ramos doubled off of him. That would be all the Giants would get on Schlittler, who finished with eight strikeouts across 5.1 innings. He got 13 whiffs, most coming from his four-seamer, which averaged 98.5 mph.

Schlittler wasn’t stretched out in camp because a strained oblique set him back, so he only threw 68 pitches (49 strikes). His limit was at 70 pitches. 

-Manager Aaron Boone used a right-handed heavy lineup on Friday as the Yankees were going up against the southpaw Robbie Ray. Ray is the only lefty starter they expect to see over the next week, so he felt it was a good chance to get Paul Goldschmidt, Amed Rosario and Randal Grichuk in the starting lineup. However, the former Cy Young winner got the top of the order in order to start the game and wiggled out of trouble in the second after Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jose Caballero singled with two outs.

Ray mowed down the Yankees lineup until the sixth. Goldschmidt led off with a double that was assisted by a carom off the wall on the right field side. Then Judge entered the box for his third at-bat. Ray took care of Judge in the first two, but the two would battle. Judge got a low strike overturned using ABS and Ray battled back from 3-0 to get the full count. However, the reigning AL MVP would get the last laugh, getting around a 93 mph four-seamer on the inside part of the plate to deposit a homer over the left field wall. The blast went 405 feet. 

Ray would get one more out before he was pulled. The southpaw went 5.1 innings (89 pitches, 57 strikes), allowing two runs on five hits while striking out four. 

-Stanton, after narrowly missing an opposite-field homer earlier in the game, launched a homer of his own in the sixth. The blast went 414 feet (108 mph off the bat) off reliever Jose Butto. After getting two hits in the opener, Stanton picked up another two and finished 2-for-4.

-Judge, who went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in the season opener, flew out in his first AB against Ray and struck out swinging after his check swing couldn’t hold up on a 1-2 slider in the dirt. His third at-bat was the homer, but he then struck out looking in his fourth time to the plate. Judge finished 1-for-4 with the home run. After two games, he’s struck out six times. 

As for the right-handers Boone put in the lineup, Grichuk went 0-for-2 before Trent Grisham came in the seventh inning. Rosario also went 0-for-2 before Ryan McMahon pinch-hit for him in the sixth, while Goldschmidt finished 1-for-5 but stayed in for the entire game.

-Five Yankees pitchers allowed just one hit on Saturday. After Ramos’ second-inning double, Schlittler, Fernando Cruz, Tim Hill, Camilo Doval and David Bednar allowed just two baserunners (both walks) in 3.2 innings. Here’s how the bullpen broke down:

• Cruz: 0.2 IP, 1 BB
• Hill, 1.0 IP, 2 K
• Doval: 1.0 IP, 3 K
• Bednar: 1.0 IP, 1 BB

Game MVP: Cam Schlittler

The Yankees were in a pitcher’s duel early and Schlittler kept the Giants off the board long enough for Judge and the offense to push across some runs.

What’s next

The Yankees wrap up their series in San Francisco with a Saturday game that starts at 7:15 p.m.

Will Warren will take the mound against Tyler Mahle. 

It has been one of, if not the most asked question of the off-season: “How can I watch the Atlanta Braves this year?”

If you are rising from a Winter hibernation, ready to join the land-of-the-baseball-living just in time for Opening Day, here’s the executive summary of what has happened with Braves’ broadcasts since that sunny Sunday in September when Charlie Morton started the final game of Atlanta’s 2025 regular season.

• Main Street Sports Group (MSSG) – the company behind the regional sports channel known to Braves fans as FanDuel Sports Network – has been unable to find a buyer and missed payments to teams impacting MLB, NBA and NHL franchises whose games are/were carried on the network.
• The MLB teams, including the Braves, whose broadcasts were carried by MSSG opted out of their broadcast agreement for 2026.
• The Braves were amongst several clubs to ultimately announce the would produce their own broadcasts.
• The Braves announced BravesVision as the name of its new broadcast, which will return most of the broadcasters and behind-the-scenes staff who worked Braves games last year. It will also include pre- and post-game shows as part of each broadcast.

Here is the meat-and-potatoes of the announcement, if you missed it, as Braves.tv is now the way that viewers in “Braves Country” can stream games in-market without blackouts. That means every game not carried by a national exclusive rights holder will be available. Up to 18 games per team can be optioned as an exclusive to networks like TBS, ESPN, NBC, FOX, Apple TV, etc, but other than those games, the rest will be on Braves.tv in-market.

Braves.tv/BravesVision In 2026

What areas are considered in-market for the Braves?

Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina and western North Carolina.

What about the other areas of the country?

Braves games are available on MLB.tv, as they have been, and are subject to blackouts based on the “local” blackout rules, same as last year.

Is Braves.tv a stand-alone site?

No, it is part of MLB.tv, which is now owned by ESPN.

I live in-market, can I just sign-up for the overall MLB.tv package and watch the Braves?

No, you have to add Braves.tv on top of the MLB.tv package, if you want to watch Braves game and other MLB teams via the service. If you just want the Braves, you can opt just for Braves.tv.

How much does Braves.tv cost?

It is $99.99 for the season or $19.99 per month.

Where can I watch the Braves without having to buy a streaming package?

That’s a great question – and one with still a considerable amount of unknowns. Here’s a breakdown of what is known as of March 26.

Will games be available over-the-air?

Yes. The Braves and Gray Media will broadcast select number of games (total number of games and schedule not available as of this writing) via Gray Media’s over-the-air channels in the Braves home market again this season. This does include Opening Day. A list of Gray Media television stations broadcasting Braves games is available here.

Will the Braves be carried on my local cable carrier or satellite provider?

Here’s a list provided by the Braves of all of the carriers and providers for BravesVision as of March 27:

• Xfinity (channel 1254)
• Spectrum
• DIRECTV (channel 645 on streaming and satellite; channel 1730 (HD) on U-verse)
• FuboTV
• Absolute Cable TV (channel 670, DMAs: Atlanta, GA / Macon, GA / Augusta, GA)
• Ben Lomand Connect (channels 41 (SD)/341 (HD), DMA: Nashville, TN)
• CDE Lightband (channel 99, DMA: Nashville, TN)
• CNSNext (channel 39, DMAs: Thomasville, GA)

• Tullahoma Utilities Board (channel 40, DMA: Nashville, TN)
• Twin Lakes (channel 41, DMAs: Chattanooga, TN / Knoxville, TN / Nashville, TN)
• United Teleports (channels 36/1036, DMA: Nashville, TN)
• Watscon Cable (channel 29, DMA: Macon, GA)
• And more to come at a later date

Does this mean I can’t watch the Braves on my current provider this season?

The Braves are likely to work out an agreement with all the major carriers – but it means that as of this writing, no formal agreement is in place. It also isn’t yet known if an agreement with those providers could require and up-grade from a “base” package to get the BravesVision network.

What about YouTube TV, Roku, etc.?

That is still an unknown at this point, unfortunately. The Braves did announce an agreement with Fubu on Opening Day.

So the Braves will not be on FanDuel Sports Network this season?

No. Those channel are likely to end broadcasting after the conclusion of the NBA and NHL regular season, unless MSSG finds a buyer. Regardless, that will not impact the Braves in 2026.

I don’t have cable or satellite nor will I sign-up for Braves.tv. How can I watch or listen to the Braves?

The Braves Radio Network will continue to broadcast every game and the network of stations can be found here. Otherwise, you may be relegated to national broadcasts or over-the-air, if you are in-market.

Things aren’t as simple as they were with then-Braves owner Ted Turner put the Braves on TBS and made them available across-the-country. But, with BravesVision, a new generation of fans will be able to access the team via streaming without restrictions in-market for the first time, ever. Braves.tv is also offering a free, seven-day trial, which may be a requirement if you still have traditional cable or satellite and an agreement with your provider isn’t in place prior to Opening Day.

A reminder that Atlanta Braves game previews, game live threads and game recaps for all Braves games can be found on Battery Power throughout the season.

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge shook off a rough Opening Night by hitting his first home run of the 2026 MLB season in Friday’s 3-0 win over the San Francisco Giants.

The two-run blast off Giants pitcher Robbie Ray came after the three-time American League MVP went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in the Yankees’ season-opening 7-0 win over San Francisco on Wednesday.

Two batters later, Giancarlo Stanton hit his first home run of the season off José Buttó, brought in to replace Ray in the sixth inning. That gave the Yankees a 3-0 lead, which was all they’d need to close out the victory to stay unbeaten this season.

Friday’s game marked the 60th time that Judge and Stanton homered in the same context, the sixth-highest total among teammates in MLB history, according to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs.

Draft your Yahoo Fantasy Baseball team for the 2026 MLB Season

By the end of this season, Judge and Stanton could very well tie or surpass the third-highest total of 68, currently held by Willie McCovey/Willie Mays and Duke Snider/Gil Hodges. That would put the current Yankees sluggers behind one of the team’s legendary duos, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, who hit home runs in the same game 75 times.

Making his season debut for the Giants, Ray allowed two runs and five hits over 5 1/3 innings. He struck out four batters and walked none. He was outmatched by Yankees starter Cam Schlittler, who pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings with eight strikeouts, allowing only one hit.

Yankees pitching has looked exceptional against the Giants, who haven’t scored a run and managed only four hits in their first two games of the season.

Schlittler and Max Fried combined for 11 2/3 scoreless innings, three hits allowed and 12 strikeouts in their outings. Six Yankees relievers have yet to allow a run, with Camilo Doval (whom the Giants traded to New York last season) making two appearances in the two games.
