The back-to-back shutouts mark the first time the Yankees have started a season with consecutive shutouts, while the Giants were shut out in consecutive opening games for the first time in franchise history.

Judge-Led USA Cruises Past Brazil in WBC After Turbulent Start

Mason Miller slammed the door, sealing the win as the US showed elite firepower but left questions about pitching depth ahead of tougher opponents like the Dominican Republic.
