Giants Overcome Brewers 5-4 in Opener

The San Francisco Giants defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 5-4, powered by a decisive two-run homer from Mike Yastrzemski in the seventh inning. Grant McCray and Matt Chapman also contributed with solo home runs, while the Brewers' Willy Adames and Jackson Chourio hit two-run homers off Giants starter Logan Webb, who struggled through 5-plus innings. The Giants initially took a 1-0 lead in the third, capitalizing on a balk by Brewers pitcher Tobias Myers. Despite the loss, Milwaukee's recent performance has been inconsistent, marking their fourth defeat in six games. Yastrzemski's homer came off Joel Payamps, who had previously not allowed a run in his last 11 outings. The victory allowed the Giants to avoid falling back under .500 and continues a trend of close games, with this being their fourth consecutive one-run contest.
