Giants Edge Yankees 5-4, Series Win Highlights Rodón's Walk Issues

The San Francisco Giants defeated the New York Yankees 5-4, with Jung Hoo Lee hitting two home runs, including a crucial three-run shot in the sixth inning off Carlos Rodón, who issued critical walks that led to runs. The Yankees, who initially held a 3-1 lead, saw their offense falter after scoring early, with Jazz Chisholm Jr. finally breaking an 0-for-24 slump with a homer in the eighth. Rodón's struggles continued as he allowed four runs and three hits over 5.2 innings, with his ERA now at 5.48 and having surrendered five home runs this season. The loss marked the Yankees' fifth in their last seven games, while the Giants improved their record to 11-4. Defensive errors compounded the Yankees' woes, including a misplay by Paul Goldschmidt that allowed an insurance run. The Giants' victory also marked their first regular-season win in the Bronx since 2021.
