The Yankees began the season at the Stadium, on Thursday afternoon, March 30. (All thirty teams played this year on Opening Day.) Their opponent was the SF Giants. In his career debut, Volpe batted ninth.
3rd, leading off, Yanks up 1-0: Walk, stole second while next batter - LeMahieu - at plate, stuck there
5th, leading off, now 3-0: Groundout
7th, one out, runners at first and third, still 3-0: Strikeout, team then scored final two runs of game on singles by LeMahieu and Judge
Summary: Walk, steal, no hits and missed scoring opportunity that didn't hurt, team win (Judge and Torres each had two HR and two RBI, shutout led by Cole with six innings): so-so start
