Giants' Aaron Judge Smashes Opening Day Home Run, Sends Crowd into Frenzy!

In a thrilling opening day match, the San Francisco Giants defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 in extra innings. The game was highlighted by a towering home run hit by Giants outfielder Aaron Judge, who was acquired in the offseason from the New York Yankees.

Judge's home run came in the bottom of the ninth inning and tied the game at three apiece, sending the packed crowd at Oracle Park into a frenzy. The 6'7" slugger has quickly become a fan favorite in San Francisco and is expected to be a major contributor to the Giants' playoff aspirations this season.

The game remained tied until the bottom of the 11th inning, when Giants infielder Brandon Crawford hit a walk-off single to score catcher Buster Posey and give the Giants the victory. The win was a huge boost for the Giants, who are hoping to compete for the National League West division title this year.

The Dodgers, who won the division last season, will look to rebound in the second game of the series on Friday. The Giants will send ace pitcher Kevin Gausman to the mound, while the Dodgers will counter with former Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw.
