One down, 62 to go for Aaron Judge and many more for the Yankees.

In his first game as captain, beginning an encore of his 62-home run season against the team that nearly lured him away from New York over the offseason, Judge crushed a home run in his first plate appearance of the season.

It served as an overture for the Yankees’ picture-perfect Opening Day, which included six shutout innings from Gerrit Cole, a stolen base for Anthony Volpe in his MLB debut and a 5-0 win over the Giants on Thursday afternoon in The Bronx.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs, adding a bloop RBI single later in the game, as the Yankees and their $360 million outfielder started the season off on the right foot.

Cole struck out 11 — a new franchise record for Opening Day — across six shutout innings before handing the ball over to a trio of Yankees relievers to close out the game.
