Apr 13, 2025; Bronx, New York, USA; San Francisco Giants center fielder Jung Hoo Lee (51) hits a three-run home run in the sixth inning against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images Jung Hoo Lee and the San Francisco Giants hope to build off a productive weekend when they kick off a four-game series Monday against the host Philadelphia Phillies.
San Francisco has been one of the top teams in baseball this season, winning 11 of its first 15 games, including two of three at the New York Yankees this weekend. The Giants captured the rubber game 5-4 on Sunday behind Lee’s two home runs.
“Quite a series for Jung Hoo here at Yankee Stadium,” San Francisco manager Bob Melvin said. “It’s pretty remarkable.”
Lee homered three times over the weekend and is now batting .352 on the young season with a league-leading eight doubles.
“I don’t think he’s afraid of the spotlight,” said Giants right-hander Logan Webb, who earned the win Sunday after allowing three runs over five innings. “I’m excited to see him keep growing and keep getting better. I think there’s even more in there.”
Philadelphia, meanwhile, won six of its first seven games but has since dropped five of its last eight. The team was shut out twice during a three-game set in St. Louis over the weekend, including a 7-0 defeat to the Cardinals on Sunday.
“As an offense, we have to be better,” Phillies slugger Bryce Harper said. “We had some opportunities to hit some pitches over the zone and it just didn’t happen. We’ve got to be better. We’ll find our way. Our eyeballs have been good lately, but you’ve got to also hit with guys on base and in scoring position.”
Among the culprits in Philadelphia’s struggling lineup is Brandon Marsh, who struck out twice Sunday and is 0-for-24 in April. Marsh is hitting .108 on the season.
“I know I’m not doing my part, which stinks the worst,” Marsh said. “I just feel like I’m letting my guys down.”
Taijuan Walker (1-0, 0.00 ERA) endured that nightmare for the Phillies last season, when he pitched to a 7.10 ERA in 19 appearances, including 15 starts. However, his first two outings this season have been promising, as the right-hander has yet to allow a run in 10 2/3 innings. He’s set to start against San Francisco on Monday.
Most recently, Walker tossed 4 2/3 scoreless frames against Atlanta on Wednesday. He has done a nice job against current Giants infielders Matt Chapman and Wilmer Flores, holding them to a combined 2-for-19 over the years.
San Francisco will give the ball to Landen Roupp (0-1, 3.60), who will make his third start of the season. The 26-year-old right-hander pitched mostly out of the bullpen as a rookie last year, and he’ll be facing Philadelphia for the first time.
In his last start on Tuesday, Roupp yielded one run and seven hits over six scoreless innings. He struck out four batters without a walk in a game that the Giants lost 1-0 to the Cincinnati Reds.
“It’s probably as good as I’ve felt with it since the first game of spring training,” Roupp said of his cutter — a new pitch that he hopes will complement his sinker. “I got some weak contact on it and swing-and-miss, and I was throwing it for strikes. That was encouraging.”

Aaron Judge finally gets his signature Yankees playoff moment with game-tying ALDS Game 3 home run
NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees have had a lot of problems with the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS, but Aaron Judge is not one of them. Tuesday night in Game 3, New York's captain launched a game-tying three-run home run off the left field foul pole to complete his team's comeback from an early 6-1 deficit. The Yankees have avoided elimination for at least one more night and forced Game 4 on Wednesday (NYY 9, TOR 6). "I felt like I made good contact and I thought we had a chance," Judge said after the game about the ball staying fair. "You just never know with the wind, if it's going to push it foul, keep curving or not. But I guess a couple ghosts out there helped kind of keep that fair."The home run was Judge's […]

Why Blue Jays’ John Schneider isn’t sweating that game-changing Aaron Judge home run: ‘Give him credit, man’
In the sports world, even the best competitors get beat sometime. At times, there are reasonable explanations of things that could have been done differently in the situation. Others, a player did everything asked of him and someone else just did their job better. When that happens, it's generally best to acknowledge that sometime you get beat and that's part of sports. Credit to Blue Jays manager John Schneider on this front, who did just that on Aaron Judge's game-changing, three-run home run off reliever Louie Varland in Game 3 of the ALDS Tuesday. That home run tied the game, 6-6, and the Yankees would eventually win 9-6 (box score), extending the best-of-five series to Game 4 on Wednesday. That pitch is high and off the strike zone inside the plate to Judge at 100 mph and he still turned it around and […]
