rewrite this title Giants’ Tony Vitello era gets off to historically poor start

The Tony Vitello era for the San Francisco Giants is certainly off to a historic start. It is just not the good kind of history. The Giants have not only lost their first two games of the season to the New York Yankees, but they have done so in rather futile fashion.

Giants make wrong kind of history with another shutout loss to Yankees

After dropping their season-opener to the Yankees by a 7-0 margin on Wednesday night, the Giants followed that up on Friday with a 3-0 loss.

While being shut out in the first two games of the season is bad enough, what makes it even worse is the Giants have barely been able to even get a hit.

Or a base-runner.

After getting just three hits in the season-opener, they followed that up with just one hit on Friday.

That makes them the first team in Major League Baseball history to score zero runs and have fewer than five hits in the first two games of a season.
