As the San Francisco Giants are in a series against the New York Yankees, the team is in the midst of a fast start as they ae 9-3 which puts them second in the NL West behind the San Diego Padres at 10-3. After the Giants are coming off a walk-off against the Cincinnati Reds, center fielder Heliot Ramos gave a confident assessment of the team that should catch the attention of the Los Angeles Dodgers and its fans.

The NL West-leading San Francisco Giants visit Yankee Stadium to take on the AL East-leading New York Yankees. The forecast is iffy, but Yankees manager Aaron Boone provided an update prior to the action. Speaking with reporters in the 4 p.m. window, Boone said the Yankees are "optimistic" a game will get played on Friday. It's slated to be a three-game series, with afternoon games on both Saturday and Sunday.

The Giants are riding high to begin the 2025 MLB season, and are playing with the utmost confidence heading into one of their most difficult stretches of games. San Francisco (9-3) has the second-best record in baseball behind the NL West-leading San Diego Padres (10-3) and slightly ahead of the defending World Series-champion Los Angeles Dodgers (10-4) as one of the biggest surprise teams early on this season. The Giants players, however, are not surprised by the team's excellent start to the season, as San Francisco outfielder Heliot Ramos explained in a Friday interview on "MLB Central."

The Giants, whose record sits at an impressive 9-3, have yet to play 10 percent of their first season under president of baseball operations Buster Posey. Of the 12 games that the Giants have played, four of them have been won because of swings in the ninth inning or later. Wilmer Flores hit the dramatic three-run homer on Opening Day to stun the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park.

The 2025 MLB season is well underway, with some teams getting off to hotter starts than others. The New York Yankees (7-5) are in fourth place in the AL, while the San Francisco Giants (9-3) are in second place in the NL. Both teams are set to face off in a three-game series in the Bronx starting on Friday night. For fans looking to attend Saturday afternoon's game, there's tickets going for as low as $3.

Before the fourth game of the 2024 season, the Giants DFA'd catcher Joey Bart and added right-hander Daulton Jefferies, who started later that day and then was immediately optioned back to Triple-A. Bart was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates and Jefferies later joined him there -- but only after being recalled and optioned two more times in early May. A year earlier, a trade for veteran Matt Beaty in the hours before the opener at Yankee Stadium led to Bryce Johnson and Sean Hjelle surprisingly being left off the Opening Day roster after strong springs.
