Yankees 0-for-2 on ABS so far in home opener

The Yankees’ first successful ABS challenge in the Bronx will have to wait.

They went 0-for-2 in the first five innings.

• Ben Rice unsuccessfully challenged a called strike, a pitch that was firmly in the zone, in the second inning before striking out.
• On the first pitch of the bottom of the fifth, Cody Bellinger unsuccessfully challenged a called strike that nicked the bottom of the strike zone, but he still led off the inning with a ground-rule double.
