Yankees look to bounce back at Giants

Madison Bumgarner goes head-to-head with one of the teams most strongly linked to him in winter trade rumors when the San Francisco Giants open a three-game interleague series against the New York Yankees on Friday night. Facing the Yankees for the first time in San Francisco since 2007 and first time anywhere in three years, the Giants will be looking for a third straight win over American League East competition, having completed a two-game sweep at Toronto on Wednesday. While the Giants got Thursday off after the long flight home, the Yankees were letting their six-game winning streak slip away, blowing a 4-0 lead in an 11-5 road loss to the Los Angeles Angels.
